Chapter 45

"That's right next," Hu Banxian hurriedly replied, and suddenly saw the young man looked him up and down, with some hesitation on his face, and when he looked down, his trousers were covered with dry mud, and he hadn't had time to clean it when he came back replaced.

Since Hu Banxian became famous, he has taken a fancy to his own appearance. He wears a Confucian crown and green shirt every day, wears soap-faced square boots, and even his fingernails are neatly manicured.Seeing that he was in a panic at this moment, afraid of being looked down upon, he quickly explained: "I just came back from Yinzhou, and I haven't had time to change it yet."

Xie Zuiqiao was a little surprised, looked at him again, thought for a while, and then said: "I have heard about Banxian for a long time, and I have been here a few times in the past few days, but I don't want Banxian to be away. Could it be that I went to Yinzhou a few days ago? "

Hu Banxian's trip to Yinzhou was thrilling, and he was pulled out of the conversation, and couldn't help complaining: "Exactly! If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't go..."

As soon as the words started, I suddenly remembered.He is no longer what he used to be, but a well-known figure in Jiangzhou.It's a bit self-defeating to mention such things.Hastily stopped, straightened his shoulders, turned serious and said: "Dare to ask the young master to come, but you want me to ask the murderer?"

Xie Zuiqiao had heard Hu Banxian's half-sentence of complaining earlier, and he was even more suspicious.He didn't have such a thought at all, he just came here to meet this magical person who was expected to experience the great change of August [-]th, and then asked him to go to the magistrate's mansion to receive a reward.And looking at the meaning of my uncle's speech a few days ago, there was a faint intention to welcome this Hu Banxian quietly to be an aide.At this moment, I was reminded by Banxian's words.Seeing him holding his head up and his chest behind his hands, he suddenly felt a sense of probing, and said, "I was caught by the half-immortal. Recently, something went wrong at home. I heard that the half-immortal was determined by his mouth, so I went to find him." Come here, hope to guide the maze."

Hu Banxian saw that it was indeed a guest who had heard of his name, so he hurriedly led Xie Zuiqiao in, took out his usual business divination stick, and said, "I don't know if the young master is asking for money or an official? This Banxian will follow suit." The hexagrams will break the evil and bring good luck for you."

Xie Zuiqiao sighed: "It's neither asking for money, nor asking for an official. It's really that Jiaci has been ill for a long time, and he hasn't recovered after using all the medicines. I want to ask the half-immortal to draw a hexagram. If there is a way to seek good luck and avoid bad luck, I will be grateful." Endless."

Hu Banxian is very familiar with this kind of questioning. When he asked about the date and time, he made a hexagram in a serious manner, looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "Jiashen day and Jiaxu time, food sees salary, and the master is rich. It can be seen that the old lady was born rich. The fate of great nobility. From the perspective of the five elements, it is the pillars, gold, wood, fire, and fire, and it is a fate that is dark first and then bright. Therefore, the son does not need to worry. After returning, he will do more good deeds. "

Hu Banxian is extremely knowledgeable in divination.Seeing that the guest was dressed in extraordinary clothes, he naturally guessed that he was either rich or expensive, and after a good word, he told the family to go back and do good deeds.If the old lady really recovers from her illness in the future, it will be him who divination and divination.If something bad happens, it's because his family's good deeds haven't arrived, so what does it have to do with him, Hu Banxian?This is a common method for all kinds of tests.

After Hu Banxian finished speaking, he saw that the guest on the opposite side had no expression, he only looked at himself, and asked slowly, "Is Banxian counted correctly? Do you want to do the calculation again?" He straightened his chest, pretending to be displeased and said: " Who in Jiangzhou doesn’t know my name, Hu Banxian? Even the head of Xie Zhifu of the South Gate and the Ruan family of Rongyin Hall have contacts with me. You can’t be wrong! You go back and do as I say.”

"I would like to do what you said, to accumulate more blessings and longevity for my kindness. It's just a pity..." Xie Zuiqiao's voice turned cold, "It's a pity that my mother passed away three years ago, and my filial piety here will not be until a few days later. It can only be removed on the [-]th of August. I told you to do the calculation again, but you insisted that you were right."

While talking, Xie Zuiqiao stretched out his cuffs towards him, and sure enough, there was a layer of white hemp bottom inside the sky blue robe.This is the rite of filial piety of the Dazhao Kingdom.If parents are mourned, they don't need to wear filial piety clothes after three months, but just put a layer of sackcloth under the outer robe.

Hu Banxian was dumbfounded, he never thought that the person who came to the door today was not to give him money, but to kick his sign.Just as he was thinking about Zensheng, he turned the words around again, Xie Zuiqiao said again: "My surname is Xie, and Zhifu Xie is my uncle."

Hu Banxian was startled, his heart was pounding, seeing that the magistrate's nephew's expression had slowed down, and he was looking at him with a smile that was not a smile, he stood up hurriedly, rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "The little one has eyes but doesn't know. Taishan, I still hope to forgive my sin. Last month, the young one calculated the flood on August [-]th, and specially asked Mr. Ruan to report to Mr. Xie... I don’t know if Mr. Xie still remembers the young one? Mr. Xie came here and this is..." While talking, he stared eagerly, thinking of asking for a reward.

If Xie Zuiqiao said that he still had doubts about Hu Banxian before, now he has concluded that he must have a ghost.Thinking that my uncle still intends to recruit this person to be a staff member, this is not a trivial matter, and it is necessary to find out the details of this person.Then he nodded his head and said with a smile: "That's right, my uncle has indeed kept you in mind..." After a pause, he suddenly said sharply: "Hu Banxian, how do you know that there will be such a big fight on August [-]th?" water?"

Hu Banxian was still thinking about how much money he should be rewarded this time, when he suddenly heard him questioning sharply, he was startled, and hurriedly said: "It was calculated by the little man watching the sky at night!"

"What a night-watching sky-watcher and guessing!" Xie Zuiqiao shook his head, "What you told me just now is clearly a swindler's quack talk, and I don't care about it with you. I just ask you, you went to the bank a while ago. What does the state do?"

"The little one went to Yinzhou to see a relative..."

"Nonsense!" Xie Zuiqiao slapped the table violently, the divination sticks on the table jumped up, the bamboo pot overturned, Gululu rolled down, and the sticks scattered all over the ground, "Since you have calculated the Jiangzhou eight There is a flood on the thirteenth day of the lunar month, why can’t it be calculated that Yinzhou also has it, so I called your relative here. I stayed there for more than a month, and didn’t come back until I was submerged in this flood?”

Seeing the young man surnamed Xie staring at him with piercing eyes, Hu Banxian seemed to have pierced his own thoughts, and was speechless for a moment, unable to make out a word.

"Hu Banxian, let me tell you the truth. My uncle suspects that there is a ghost behind you, so he ordered me to come and ask you. If someone is too famous, it is definitely not a good thing. Since you have such a great power Yes, who knows if you will harbor evil intentions in the future? One mistake, it may not be possible to be expelled as a monster. I just saw that you calculated the flood and saved a whole city. I can't bear you to be treated like this. I came here to remind you..."

Hu Banxian turned pale with shock, stood in a daze, his legs were trembling, and suddenly called out: "Thank you, Mr., for saving me! I really have no evil intentions! I didn't figure out the flood! Someone forced me to say it... ..."

Xie Zuiqiao had just probed casually, and he knew that the half-immortal most likely just lived with one mouth.How can such a person be an aide?Neng Daozhong said that there must be something hidden in the flood on August [-]th, so he brought out his uncle to scare him.Hearing what he said at this moment, he frowned and said, "What's going on?"

Hu Banxian didn't dare to hide it anymore this time, so he told it from the beginning.

It turned out that when Li Dahu's murder case occurred in Jiangzhou a year ago, he was still in a mess.If it wasn't for a close friend in a nearby nunnery who secretly helped her, she might have died of starvation.One night I was sleeping in the ruined temple, when I was suddenly woken up by someone in the middle of the night, I saw a dark figure standing beside me, who claimed that he was murdering for money, and was about to ask for forgiveness, but unexpectedly, the black figure had gone, and only left the seal behind him. letter.After unfolding it, I saw that he was actually asked to go to the magistrate to reveal the real murderer in the name of divination.Although he didn't dare to believe it, but he was not afraid of wearing shoes on his bare feet, so he took a gamble.Unexpectedly, it was true, and suddenly became famous and became a famous half-immortal.At first, he was afraid that something would happen to the person behind him, otherwise why would he look for him?Unexpectedly, there was no movement after that.If the letter was not still there, he would have thought it was just a dream.

A year later, he became a half-immortal, gave the aunt some silver taels, broke off the relationship, and moved to Temple Street by himself.Unexpectedly, one night a month ago, the black shadow climbed over the wall and entered his house again, left a letter behind, and left without saying a word.He opened the seal again, and was shocked into a cold sweat.Naturally, what was written in the letter was to tell him about the wild goose coming to Bay on August [-]th. At the end of the letter, he said that if he didn't tell, he would tell about his friendship with the aunt in the nunnery.The Dazhao Kingdom is very popular in paying homage to the Buddha, so if one is caught and presented to the officials for such an affair with someone in the Buddhist sect, it will be a serious crime.The relationship between myself and that sister-in-law is very secret, and I don't know how the person who wrote the letter would know.If he doesn't talk about it, he can only flee to other places, and the reputation and money he has earned here will be ruined, and he is really reluctant.After much deliberation, it occurred to him that Li Dahu's case was also predicted by that person a year ago.Finally he gritted his teeth and decided to gamble again, and that's how he went to find Ruan Hongtian.

"...I saw that man of God wrote a letter saying this again a year ago, and I knew that the matter was so important that I dared not report it. I also hope that Mr. Xie will take pity on my heart for the people and say something nice for me in front of the adults. I am really sorry There's nothing wrong with it..."

Hu Banxian said everything else, only concealing the inside story that he was forced to say, and finally said with a mournful face.

Xie Zuiqiao asked: "The person who delivered the letter, can you see clearly?"

Hu Banxian shook his head and said, "The two times he came were at night, I couldn't see him very clearly. I just think he is big, and his age should be about the same as the young master."

Xie Zuiqiao was a little surprised, pondered for a moment, and said: "Then what about the letter, let me have a look."

Hu Banxian said: "It's still there. I'll fetch it right away." He hurriedly went under the box to find it out.

Xie Zuiqiao picked it up, and saw that it was an ordinary plain raft, the characters on it were a little stiff, and the writing was not smooth, it seemed that it was written by a novice, or the person who wrote the letter deliberately used the other hand to hide his handwriting. Written down, but the rest can not see anything.

"You can be regarded as a great contribution to the people of Jiangzhou. My uncle's place, I think you will be indispensable. There is only one thing. If he mentions to you one day that he wants you to go to help him with something, you will find an excuse to push it away." .”

Seeing that there was nothing to ask, Xie Zuiqiao nodded, got up and left.

Hu Banxian heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: "Young master, don't worry, I still know how much I weigh. Usually, I just watch my words and watch my appearance for a living. How dare I really make trouble for the adults."
