Chapter 44 Confidentiality
(I want to hear more of your voice 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"!) Gongsun He suddenly realized that his apprentice was a newborn calf and was not afraid of a tiger. He said whatever he thought, and directly said it without concealing his inference of the hexagram. This kind of hexagram interpretation is too self-righteous, and this is a taboo in hexagram interpretation.
Gongsun He's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. He wiped it, felt his throat dry, and swallowed hard, and said with difficulty: "Gun, you are too bold to interpret the hexagram like this. Although you are right, you cannot do this. For example, Gen Tu hexagram represents a mountain man, that is, a woodcutter. This is right, but there are also many people, such as it can represent young men and idle people. You can directly assert that this hexagram is a woodcutter, which is too risky. Especially Lihuo hexagram, how can it be simply and directly attributed to the iron shop? Alas! Although you are right this time, what about the next time? I'm afraid you will be defeated and will be wrong. The hexagram must be smoother, but you can't say whatever you think in your heart, and you can't say it in a real way. This time you have a bad luck, and how can you have such good luck next time? Alas!"
Looking at Gongsun He's worried look, Yi Xingchen was a little funny. However, from the perspective of his master, he said with a serious look of panic and said, "Master, I understand, I will pay attention in the future."
Gongsun He was a little disgusted when he heard his disciple say this. He just taught his disciple how to explain the hexagram from the perspective of his master. However, now, he feels that it may not be a good thing to teach his disciple like this, because if the disciple had not spoken the hexagram so accurately today, the Jinyiwei found the murderer based on this, I am afraid that their master and disciple would be in danger. It is the disciple's bold and detailed explanation of the hexagram so that they can escape from the heavens. He did not praise him a few times, but scolded him, but was afraid that it was a bit unreasonable.
So, Gongsun He patted Yi Xingchen on the shoulder and slowed down and said, "Although you are too bold to explain the divination today, your intuition is very correct. This time, the fortune-telling has temporarily escaped from danger, which is still very good. Okay, let's think about how to deal with the people from the Jinyiwei later."
Yi Xingchen nodded and said, "I think they should want us to tell them another fortune and help them catch the person they want to catch."
"Didn't they have caught someone? Who else should they catch the murderer?"
Yi Xingchen originally wanted to tell Gongsun He that the body hexagram of that hexagram was Xun Wood hexagram, and the change hexagram representing the result was Lihuo hexagram. Wood produces fire, which means small evil, which means futility. In other words, although the Jinyiwei caught the murderer this time, it was not the real target that their Jinyiwei wanted to catch. Therefore, they invited them back and asked them to help tell the fortune and find the person they were looking for. However, if he accurately said the hexagram, then when it was indeed the same as he expected, the master might suspect that he had said before and guessed the result. He doesn't want his master to know the fact that he was telling the fortune accurately. Instead of making excuses to deceive the master, it would be better not to let him know.
Yi Xingchen said: "I'm thinking so, otherwise what would they ask us to do? Aren't we just fortune telling?"
Gongsun He nodded and said, "This is reasonable, so what will he make us do? Alas! No matter who he is, wait a moment, you have to be careful and don't say it without any room for anything, so as not to cause trouble if you say it wrong, and let your master deal with it. Even if your master tells the fortune wrongly and makes them angry, they will not be too embarrassed to see the master's age."
As they were talking, the carriage stopped, someone lifted the curtain, and the two of them leaned out and found that they had arrived in a large yard.
The two of them quickly got out of the car and took a look. Although it was already dark, they judged from the general direction that it seemed to be the Jinyiwei Yamen. Jinyiwei had a yamen in Tunzhou. They used to pass by far and did not dare to walk through the door. The fierce guards could eat people with their eyes. Unexpectedly, they were directly invited by the Jinyiwei's carriage to the Jinyiwei's courtyard, which made both of them a little panic.
Peng Qingchen, the Jinyiwei Xiaoqi, had already turned over from his head and big horse, walked quickly to the two of them and said, "Please, please, please, please."
He brought the two of them to a side door. When the guard guard saw him, he quickly bowed and saluted. Peng Qingchen just hummed in his nostrils and walked in. He entered the lobby inside, which was very luxuriously furnished.
After Peng Qingchen sat down, a guard brought tea. Peng Qingchen saw Gongsun He and his disciple standing by the door and looked at him in panic. He waved his hand and pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Sit down, sit down and talk."
Gongsun He then thanked him and glanced at his apprentice Yi Xingchen. Then the two walked to the last two chairs beside him and sat down. Gongsun He laughed with him and looked at Peng Qingchen waiting for him to teach.
Peng Qingchen took the teacup, took a sip, put it down, and said slowly: "We found the iron shop in the north as you said before. At first glance, we saw two children quarreling next to the iron shop. Next to the two children, there was a young woodcutter selling firewood and an axe was inserted on the back. We immediately arrested him. After a brief interrogation, he admitted that he had sneaked into Cuixianglou and killed the master and servant of the Xinghua girl, and robbed her money.
Later, we searched his residence and found the money from it. After identification, it was indeed Xinghua. The woodcutter's home was in a village three miles away from the city, but he had a relative who lived next to the iron shop. Therefore, he usually brought firewood into the city to sell and lived in this relative's house, and the money he robbed was stored in his relative's house. This case was solved. The main reason for solving this case is that you can calculate the fortunes, so first of all, I want to express my gratitude."
Although Peng Qingchen said thanks on his mouth, he did not look grateful or respectful in his expression. After all, it was very rare for the Jinyiwei to express his gratitude to others. It was almost impossible to expect him to hold his fists and bow his hands to make a humble look.
Gongsun He naturally understood this truth, so he quickly stood up and said he didn't dare to take it.
Peng Qingchen nodded and gestured for him to sit down, then continued: "We have passed the preliminary interrogation. The murderer admitted that that night, he drank some wine and climbed over the wall with an axe into Cuixianglou. He wanted to steal some money. If he saw the woman he liked and was robbed by the way, he probably wouldn't fight hard in front of the axe. Unexpectedly, he met an embroidered girl who fought to the death and was ready to shout for help. So, in panic, he cut the master and servant to death with an axe, and then rummaged through the box.
I found Xinghua's gold, silver and treasures in the cabinet, and they were all robbed. This is the basic case. However, our Jinyiwei intervened in this case, of course, not to help the local government solve the case, but for other reasons. Now, I have to ask you two, so I need to tell you this reason, but you must keep your mouth shut and not let out any noise. If I hear any noise from outside, no matter whether you say it or not, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless."
Gongsun He was so scared that he quickly stood up and said he didn't dare. Master Yi Xingchen stood up, so he had to stand up with him, but he didn't say a word.
Peng Qingchen stared at the two of them for a while, then slowly waved and signaled them to sit down. Then, Peng Qingchen looked up and said, "Come!" An Jinyiwei came in at the door and bowed to salute.
Peng Qingchen said: "Go and bring the thing found in Cuixianglou."
The Jinyiwei agreed, turned around and walked out quickly. After a while, he came in with a box, and at the gesture of Peng Qingchen, he placed it on the coffee table between Gongsun He and Yi Xingchen, and then retreated.
