Yi Xingchen and Gongsun He both heard what they were muttering outside. Yi Xingchen was amused, but Gongsun He couldn't laugh at all. While burning paper money for the Xinghua girl, he was worried about the fate of their master and apprentice. He lived a good life and had to die. It didn't matter if he died. It was also a relief. However, his apprentice was only fifteen or sixteen years old. At the beginning of his life, he had to accompany him to lose his life because of this matter. He felt sad when he thought about it. He turned to look at Yi Xingchen and saw that he was helping to burn paper next to him without caring, and seemed to have no idea that danger was coming.

Gongsun He thought that his apprentice was completely because he saw that he was grateful to the Apricot Flower Girl, so he mentioned that he came to burn paper money to pay tribute to the morgue. Unexpectedly, he met Jinyiwei, who happened to knock the body over again. After all, it was his fault. The apprentice was all implicated by him. He originally wanted to say a few words of apology to Yi Xingchen, but when he saw Yi Xingchen unconscious, he swallowed the words again. He thought it would be better to let him die in a daze than to die in a panic and horrified manner.

The two burned the paper money and were stunned in front of a pile of ashes.

It was already dark, and the old man who was guarding the door originally wanted to light a lamp, but the two Jinyiwei at the door did not give instructions. Of course, he did not dare to do anything, for fear of being slapped again.

Gongsun He and Yi Xingchen were sitting on the ground in the morgue, next to them were two cold and terrifying corpses. They both felt cold all over and cold hair.

Yi Xingchen shouted to the Jinyiwei at the door: "Let's light the eternal light for the corpse, otherwise, what should I do if I cheated on the corpse?"

"Cassination?" The two Jinyiwei at the door were trembling with fear. When they remembered the corpse suddenly sat up and jumped out, their legs became weak. They quickly shouted to the old man hiding in the class room and looking at the morgue: "Hey! Come on, light two lamps and light two more lanterns. When Lord Xiaoqi comes back, they will still ask questions. Do you want Lord Xiaoqi to ask in the dark? Hurry up!"

The old man at the door agreed. After a moment, he lit two eternal lights and placed them under two wooden beds with corpses lying. Then, he lit two more lanterns and hung them at the door and in the morgue. The morgue became brighter.

Yi Xingchen and Gongsun He both breathed a sigh of relief.

Listening to the update outside, I waited for a while, and finally, there was a rushing footsteps outside the room. The Jinyiwei official Peng Qingchen asked loudly: "Is the fortune teller and the master and apprentice still here?"

The two Jinyiwei bowed and replied, "It's in the house, I've burned the paper money and are waiting for you to come back."

As he spoke, Peng Qingchen's tall and burly body had already appeared at the door, looking very anxious, but when he saw Gongsun He and Yi Xingchen, he stopped again and his face returned to his cold look.

Yi Xingchen still looked at him with his hands behind his back, and didn't say anything. His face still looked dull and indifferent.

Peng Qingchen finally spoke and asked Gongsun He and Yi Xingchen: "Has your master and apprentice said just now, it was indeed calculated through fortune-telling?"

Yi Xingchen smiled and said, "I guess he has caught someone, so congratulations."

Peng Qingchen smiled rare and nodded.

Gongsun He was trembling in panic. When he saw Peng Qingchen, the small flag of the Jinyiwei, come back, he was almost desperate. He waited for Peng Qingchen to tie them up and penetrated them into a death row with the order. He even killed them with one knife, but no one made any grievances with them. Unexpectedly, the situation changed drastically. The official admitted that they had caught the murderer as his disciple said just now. That is to say, the disciple's divination was accurate. Gongsun He couldn't help but feel surprised, but was full of doubts. How did the disciple do it?

Peng Qingchen's smile appeared slightly at the corner of his mouth, and then his smile disappeared again, and his words were still as cold as a knife: "You master and apprentice come with me."

Gongsun He's heart, which had already been relieved, suddenly hung up again. He looked at Peng Qingchen in horror and asked tremblingly: "Go, where to go?"

A Jinyiwei next to him sternly said: "If you ask you to leave, you will leave. What are you talking about?"

Peng Qingchen raised his hand and slapped the Jinyiwei, which made him stagger. He covered his mouth and looked at Peng Qingchen in horror, wondering why he slapped himself.

Peng Qingchen glanced at his men: "Be respectful to Mr. Gongsun."

“Yes!”

Several Jinyiwei shrank their necks, and they really couldn't figure it out. The little flag, who had previously been harsh on Gongsun He and had ordered them to be arrested. Unexpectedly, after a round of turns, his attitude changed drastically. He actually slapped his subordinates because his subordinates scolded Gongsun He. So they all knew that this slap was just to tell Gongsun He that Peng Qingchen attached great importance to their master and apprentice, or that he had something to ask for.

After Peng Qingchen's cold eyes swept over several subordinates, he returned to Gongsun He and Yi Xingchen's faces, changed his smile and said, "Mr. Gongsun, please go to my yamen. I have something to ask you for advice."

Mr. Gongsun was nervous and sweating, and his whole body was trembling. However, when he saw this scene just now, he realized that the official of the Jinyiwei in front of him was invited to visit them, not to punish them, so he felt a little relieved. However, dealing with the Jinyiwei was like being with a tiger, and he could be eaten at any time. Therefore, Gongsun He was still nervous and nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, OK."

The two followed the Jinyiwei out of the morgue and came to the yamen.

In addition to several war horses, there was also a carriage parked here. Peng Qingchen signaled Gongsun He to get on the carriage, while they turned over several war horses.

Yi Xingchen and Gongsun He quickly got on the carriage. The carriage squeaked forward. At this time, Gongsun He had time to ask his apprentice Yi Xingchen: "What will they do to us? We won't be punished for our sins, right?"

Yi Xingchen smiled and said, "Don't worry, Master, if you want to punish us, you can't be kind to us."

Gongsun He actually knew this, but he wanted to get confirmation from his disciples, and he was relieved. Because he really couldn't believe what he could get from the Jinyiwei, and thank God if he didn't have any trouble.

Gongsun He asked again: "You said that the woodcutter selling wood next to the iron shop in the north is the murderer, and there are two children quarreling. It seems that everything is right. How did you know?"

Indeed, in the memory of the apprentice inherited by Yi Xingchen, Master Gongsun He never predicted something so accurately, because generally speaking, the fortune teller only calculates a rough thing and can only say a rough thing, so that he will not say anything to death and make the hexagram appear more effective. Of course, he knows these clearly for Gongsun He who has calculated the hexagram for decades. He said it very generally before, and this is the same idea.

According to what he said before, it is unlikely to discover and capture the murderer, so there is only one possibility, that is, the Jinyiwei found the murderer in the exact direction he said. How did the apprentice know so accurately? He didn't believe it was a fortune teller. The apprentice's fortune teller was taught by himself. He knew exactly what his apprentice has. He estimated that the apprentice should have learned the result from other ways and said it through the pretext of fortune teller.

Yi Xingchen heard his master ask how he knew about this. He had expected his master to have this question before and thought about what to say. He said immediately: "I did it by telling fortunes."

"nonsense!"

"It's true. I remember my master said that the Gen Tu hexagram represents the people in the mountains. Aren't people in the mountains a woodcutter? I saw that the wound on the Xinghua girl and the maid and the neck were split like a weapon like an axe, so I thought that it might be a woodcutter, so I said that the murderer was a woodcutter."

Gongsun He was stunned and stuttered, "You, based on this..., you infer that... the murderer... was the woodcutter?"

"Yes, Master, am I wrong?"

Gongsun He asked again: "Then, how do you know that the murderer is next to the iron shop in the north?"

"The Kan water belongs to the north in the direction of the direction, and the Lihuo hexagram on the Shangmu hexagram represents a dry and fire place. I remembered that there are not many iron shops in the North City? So I casually said that there were there."

"How do you know there are two kids quarrel?"
