(I want to hear more of your voices 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 first person is tall and has a torch, wearing a pointed hat, and a pair of peacock feathers floating behind the hat, wearing a double-breasted armor, and a narrow-sleeved robe inside. There is an embroidered spring knife on his waist.
His snatching eyes swept through the morgue and landed on the corpse on the ground. Then he stared at Gongsun He and Yi Xingchen who were standing there in panic, and snorted coldly: "Take these two people down for me!"
The several Jinyiwei lieutenants following him rushed up immediately and wanted to arrest people.
Yi Xingchen said lightly with his hands behind his back: "Sir, do you want to catch the murderer?"
When he heard this, the Jinyiwei official was slightly stunned and immediately shouted: "Wait! Get out!"
The Jinyiwei Captain quickly stopped and stood on both sides.
The official took two steps forward, looked up and down Yi Xingchen, and said, "Who are you?"
Yi Xingchen just calculated the hexagram, and wanted to think about ways to relieve the danger in front of him from the first and third lines of the Dazhuang hexagram of the Book of Changes. However, the time was too short, and the instantaneous Yaoci made him feel dangerous, but he did not clarify the key to solving the problem for a while.
Just when the Jinyiwei official appeared at the door of the morgue with a group of Jinyiwei and the yamen constables, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind: These Jinyiwei appeared in the yamen morgue, and there were only two bodies of Miss Xinghua and her maid in the morgue, which shows that the purpose of their trip must be related to the death of Miss Xinghua. A brothel woman was killed and robbed of money. How could such an ordinary murder alarm the emperor's secret agency Jinyiwei? There must be something strange about it. It should be that Miss Xinghua's case involved the scope of the Jinyiwei's investigation and handling of the case!
In this case, if you want to impress and attract the other party's attention, you have to give your preferences. Since they are here to solve the case, of course, you must use the case to resolve the crisis.
This thought flashed through and was immediately confirmed by the hexagram symbols and characteristics. Because he thought of the third line of the Dazhuang hexagram in the Book of Changes: "A villain uses Zhuang, and a gentleman uses Wang." There are two explanations for the gentleman using Wang's "Wang", one explanation is "no", and the other explanation refers to the "net" of the Tianluodi Net. The Tianluodi Net generally refers to the arrest of the murderer, which just confirms his previous inference. - resolving the crisis in front of him is to help the other party catch the murderer.
Yi Xingchen didn't care about further thinking, because the other party had ordered them to be arrested, so he blurted out and asked him if he wanted to catch the murderer.
After seeing the Jinyiwei official heard this, Yi Xingchen was stunned and then happy again. He knew that the other party was very interested in his question, and this treasure was considered to be the right one.
The official of the Jinyiwei took two steps forward and came to Yi Xingchen. He was one head taller than Yi Xingchen. He almost looked down at Yi Xingchen and asked who they were.
Yi Xingchen said: "My master is called Gongsun He, my name is Yi Xingchen. We are fortune-telling on Tunzhou Street."
"Do you know who the murderer is?"
Yi Xingchen shook his head and nodded again.
The official of the Jinyiwei looked cold: "Do you know?"
"I don't know, but we can figure out who the murderer is by telling fortunes, or how we can find the murderer."
"Telling fortunes? Use fortunes to find the murderer?" The Jinyiwei official laughed in anger, "Hahaha, have you been brave enough to be ambitious? I dare to come and have fun!"
Yi Xingchen was not panicked at all. He looked at him and waited for his laughter to stop before continuing: "There is something in this case that has aroused the interest of your Jinyiwei. I have figured out what this thing is through fortune-telling. Do you believe it?"
The sneer on the official's face froze a little, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and through the slit, a cold light locked Yi Xingchen, slowly squeezed out two words from the cracks of his teeth: "Okay, you say! What's the case attracted our attention?"
Yi Xingchen smiled slightly, took a half step forward, almost pressing against the official, raised his head, and said three words in a very slight voice that was almost only heard by the other party: "Bai - Lotus - Flower!"
The official of the Jinyiwei shook his body and was shocked by Yi Xingchen's answer.
Because, a very exquisite white lotus made of silver was indeed found at the murder scene. It was this white lotus that attracted the attention of their Jinyiwei and intervened in this originally ordinary robbery case. It was just because this white lotus, after identification, was the token of a considerable level leader of the White Lotus Sect.
The White Lotus Sect is well-known in history. It is a religious organization that has been popular among the people since the Song and Yuan dynasties. It has often become an organizational form of opposing riots and uprisings in the court in history. Although the teachings of the White Lotus Sect originate from Buddhism, they are greatly simplified, the doctrines are simple and easy to understand, and they are full of temptations for the description of the next life. Therefore, the ordinary people who do not understand the profound doctrines of Buddhism but are full of respect for Buddhist scriptures are very attractive. Therefore, the White Lotus Sect is very easy to develop believers and can quickly form a scale. Therefore, it has also become the best organizational form for those uprisingers who resisted the court to develop their power. The White Lotus Sect has existed as a folk religious organization for nearly a thousand years.
Because of the characteristics of the White Lotus Sect, emperors of all dynasties had a headache about the White Lotus Sect. The methods of dealing with them were mostly suppression and recruitment. In the short period of the Yuan Dynasty, they even encouraged development and wanted to take it for themselves, but failed. No matter how the court attacked, the White Lotus Sect always burned like wild grass and grew. In the Ming Dynasty, the White Lotus Sect was recognized as a cult by Emperor Taizu and banned. Of course, the White Lotus Sect resolutely confronted the court. In the early and mid-terms of the Ming Dynasty, more than a dozen White Lotus Sect riots, large and small, were organized, and they were suppressed one after another, which made the court even more determined to strike against the White Lotus Sect.
Taking on the pursuit and arrest of the White Lotus Sect is one of the main responsibilities of the Jinyiwei. This time, Bai Lianhua, the token of the upper leader of the White Lotus Sect, was discovered at the scene of the murder of Xinghua in Cuixianglou, and the token of Bai Lianhua, the Jinyiwei immediately attracted the attention of the Jinyiwei and intervened in the case.
There were not many people who knew that the white lotus was left behind the scene because the white lotus was placed in the dark lattice under the Apricot Flower Girl's bed, not in a place that could be seen on the scene. Therefore, the Turtle and others in the brothel where the Apricot Flower Girl died did not see the white lotus. During the investigation, Captain Cui accidentally discovered the dark lattice under the bed. After opening it, in addition to some precious gold and silver jewelry, he found this white lotus from the White Lotus Sect.
Captain Cui certainly knew what this meant. He immediately felt that the situation was serious and immediately blocked the scene and prohibited anyone from entering and leaving. Then he personally rushed to the Jinyiwei Yamen to report directly to the Jinyiwei official. So, the Jinyiwei official brought people to the scene to check and confirmed that it was indeed a token of the upper leader of the White Lotus Sect. No other useful clues were found on the scene. So the Jinyiwei leader led the people to the morgue of the yamen, preparing to personally investigate the body and find new clues.
Therefore, counting it, only the officials of the Jinyiwei Guard and Captain Cui, who knew about this matter, did not know about it.
However, this shabby fortune teller actually said that what attracted his attention was a white lotus, which made him extremely shocked.
Yi Xingchen said this result, indeed it was derived from the three-dimensional hexagram in his mind.
When he used words to suppress the officials of the Jinyiwei, he was surprised to find that the three-dimensional Dazhuang hexagram in his mind had been broken down into five hexagrams, namely the body hexagram Zhenmu hexagram, the hexagram Ganjin hexagram, the lower hexagram Ganjin hexagram, the upper hexagram Duijin hexagram, and the change hexagram Kanshui hexagram. The first and third hexagrams of the three-dimensional hexagrams flashed at the same time, and the yin and yang were changing. He knew that the changing hexagram should be both lines changing.
This is inconsistent with the general Plum Blossom Yishu hexagram theory, because in the usual Plum Blossom Yishu hexagram theory, there is only one changing line in the hexagram, and there will not be two. However, two changing lines appear in his head. He naturally has to follow this change, so after the first and third lines change yin and yang, the change of hexagram becomes the Kanshui hexagram.
However, there was no flash in the hexagram this time. Except for the previous flash of the first and third lines of yin and yang, the yin and yang changes in the first and third lines. Since the other hexagrams did not flash, they did not prompt him to analyze the hexagram theory from which hexagram should be used, we can only analyze it from the overall hexagram.
His head rotates rapidly, using the hexagram, the lower mutual hexagram and the upper mutual hexagram are all gold. Gold represents weapons. The original hexagram is Zhenmu hexagram, and metal overcomes wood and is very bad. This time it is a disaster!
Originally, his backbone was cold, but when his attention fell on the final change of hexagram, he couldn't help but laugh, because the change of hexagram was Kan water, and water produced wood was auspicious. Therefore, although today's things would be dangerous, the result was great luck, so there was no danger.
