Asking hexagram 20 taels

(41)

In the small village outside the capital, Tang Yuan was sitting in the house drinking water.There was a big bowl of tea on the simple wooden Eight Immortals table, and the tea could be seen by the naked eye as useless tea leaves, all of which were tea powder, but Tang Yuan drank it to his satisfaction.

This property was bought by Wuwei Pavilion in the early years, and it was bought by Xie Sanchuan's father. Missed this place.

Tang Yuan dare not go out now.The outer sect disciples of Wuwei Pavilion are everywhere inside and outside the capital city, each of them is holding his portrait of Tang Yuan in their hands, asking everyone if they have seen it.He was wanted by the Wuwei Pavilion new sect, and the arrest warrant clearly stated that Tang Yuan had kidnapped Wuwei Pavilion master Xie Sanchuan, and poured all the dirty water that Xie Sanchuan had disappeared on him.

The old god Tang Yuan was drinking tea on the ground, with Erlang's legs crossed, he didn't care about this matter, who was called Xie Sanchuan was indeed robbed by him, and he will take the blame for others.What he cares about is who is in power in Wuwei Pavilion now, and how he got his portrait and real name.

He used the title of "Bitter Taoist" all the time when he walked in the rivers and lakes. He was well-informed inside the Wuwei Pavilion, but he was also a relative of the emperor, and now he was already one of the "Ten Masters". The level of secrecy should be very high, at most only Xie Sanchuan, the pavilion master, can know all about it.The new faction of the Wuwei Pavilion was the highest and one of the three assistants of the pavilion master, and it should not have touched the core secrets of the Wuwei Pavilion.

If the Xinpai didn't get the news from the Wuwei Pavilion, then who told them the news.After much deliberation, Tang Yuan could only think of one person, and that was the current Holy Majesty, that is, his own uncle.It seemed that he was about to renege on his promise. He betrayed the promise he made to his mother back then, and now he was going to attack him.The emperor's order is like a mountain, but it changes from day to day.

But his control over the imperial court should be gradually weakening now, otherwise, according to his character, the moment he decides to attack, he will cut off his retreat. Did not start with parents.Moreover, he did not use the power of the imperial court to pursue him openly, but borrowed the power of Wuwei Pavilion to catch him with the methods of Jianghu people.

Just as Tang Yuan was thinking, the clear voice of Xiaoshi came from outside.

"Young man, the pole is coming!"

Then Xiaoshi ran in, pulling a tall and thin child.The two children were soaked through, and their faces were covered with purple mud that was dug up from the bottom of the river and smeared on their faces to hide their identities. The shoes under their feet were like toads. One sound.

Tang Yuan couldn't help laughing, and Zhuangzi's old servant hurriedly told them to take a bath and change clothes, and waited for them to wash and wash before coming out.Tang Yuan drank a pot of tea, and his stomach was full of tea, so he didn't need to eat dinner.

"Come here quickly. You are called Ganzi, right?" Tang Yuan beckoned the tall and thin child to come over.

This kid was very courageous. At that time, he could stand up in the ruined temple and ask him if he was a Kudaoren. He also got a hexagram from a Kudaoren and said, "My name is Ma Gan, because I am tall and thin. Little Shitou and the others followed him." I’m good, that’s why I’m called Ganzi.”

"Then why don't I call you Pole too." Tang Yuan clapped his hands, pulled him to his side, and took out a fake blessing and misfortune badge, "Come and see this, do you know me?"

I don't know whether the Zhangzi was taken by Wang Chengqian or by Zigu. Although the two jade chapters were taken from the south and the north, they look exactly the same, the jade material is the same, and the carving is also the same. Like the brother of a compatriot, even Tang Yuan couldn't tell the difference.Tang Yuan could only recognize the real piece of jade, because the real piece of jade was not so good, but was fooled away by Zhao En, Tang Yuan thought he would snatch it back someday.

Tang Yuan couldn't recognize it, but someone recognized it. Ma Gan's eyes turned red when he saw the piece of Zhangzi, and he brought the Zhangzi up to his face, crying with tears: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

"What's the matter?" Tang Yuan had no experience in coaxing children. Most of the time he was a child himself, so he could only wipe Ma Gan's tears the way Yuan Xiao wiped his own tears.

Ma Gan is a bitter child, knowing that no one will give him candy when he cries, so before Tang Yuan wiped it off, he wiped away his tears and asked, "Young man, where did this come from?"

"Tell me first, do you recognize this?"

Ma Gan nodded vigorously: "I know."

"what is this?"

"I don't know...I just know it was carved by my father."

Tang Yuan took out another piece from his bosom and asked him, "What about this one?"

"This is carved by grandpa."

"Can you tell the difference?"

Faced with Tang Yuan's question, Ma Gan nodded without hesitation: "Yes. Our jade carving Li family is born with the craft of jade carving. As long as it is jade carving, I can tell how it is carved. This piece of mine," He pointed to the chapter in his hand, "It was engraved by my father, who is good at engraving with his right hand, wiring boards. The one in your hand was carved by my grandfather. He is left-handed, and he is good at engraving with his left hand, but wiring boards .”

Tang Yuan unbelievingly took the two jade chapters for comparison, and looked left and right, but still couldn't see the left hand and right hand, so he simply handed the two jade chapters to Ma Gan: "What else do you know?"

"These two jade chapters come from the same piece of jade."

"How do you know these things?" Tang Yuan looked directly at him, "Don't fool me with your family's innate skills. When the murder case happened, you were less than one year old. It is enough for you to see at a glance that the two jade seals were not carved by one person, as for the carving method of your father and grandfather, can you really remember so clearly as a one-year-old child?"

Ma Gan was sensible early and met a lot of people, but that doesn't mean he was able to stand up in front of Tang Yuan, and many people in Jiang Hu dared not look Tang Yuan directly in the eyes.Because he was a magician, they were afraid that Tang Yuan could see through their thoughts at a glance.Ma Gan has a clean mind, but there are also things hidden in his heart.

"I was told."

"Who?"

"I don't know...he was wearing a mask at the time," Ma Gan tried hard to recall, "but he said his name was Li Shishi, and he was my elder brother. He said that I was the only direct descendant of the Yudiao Li family."

"Although I didn't know it before, you are indeed the only one left in Yudiao Li's family now."

"He said that one day a group of officers and soldiers suddenly ran into my house and called out the owner of the house at that time, my grandfather. Later, when my grandfather came back, he was holding a piece of rare jade in his hand. feet, jade is soft, very suitable for jade carving."

At that time, the Li family of jade carvings was close to decline, and more and more jade carvings were made, but it became more and more expensive to train a jade carving master.The Li family's asking price for jade carvings remains high, even if the finished products are exquisite, few people come to them for jade carvings.This team of officers and soldiers not only brought a piece of good jade, but also a box of gold.They promised to give the Li family another reward after the success.

"So grandpa took over the job."

"They entrusted your grandfather to engrave blessings and misfortunes?" Tang Yuan asked.

"I don't know what blessings and disasters are, and my grandpa probably doesn't know either. Our family has been a well-behaved businessman for a hundred years. But that person did say that they let grandpa make blessings and misfortunes. Jade is too precious, grandpa Reluctant to make only one zhangzi, I asked my father to divide the jade material into two pieces together. One piece was made by my grandfather, and I gave it to the customer, and the other piece was made by my father, so that he could practice. This is very common among jade carving craftsmen, because Good jade materials can be met but not sought after. Every craftsman can make them for customers only after they are familiar with their hands. They are two different things, so at that time, we had to seize every opportunity to practice."

"So your family engraved two blessings and misfortunes?"

"Yes. One was handed in, and the other was kept by our family. But on the night it was handed in, a group of people surrounded our house and killed everyone. I don't remember these things, it was that Li Shishi told me that these people were officers and soldiers in disguise, and it was our previous customers who came to kill people. I was sent out of the dog hole behind the courtyard wall in a box by the nanny. It was Li Shishi who sent me out. Later, those people burned our house down, and Li Shishi said he ran back like crazy, but was caught by a group of people."

"That should be the sword and shadow guard who took in Li Shiyi." Tang Yuan nodded. He basically knew the origin of the two fake blessings and disasters.

Twelve years ago, the emperor had already set his mind on the blessing and misfortune chapter. He found a piece of peerless jade material, and found the jade carving Li's family in Luoyang, and commissioned the jade carving Li's family to carve a fake fortune and misfortune chapter. The Li family was wiped out.Then I think this piece of blessing and misfortune handed over by the jade carving Li's family is the one that Xie Sanchuan took out in Wuwei Pavilion.And the piece that Wang Chengqian took back from Yulin was the one kept by the jade carving Li's family.

However, there is another question: "Then they didn't find the chapter you kept?"

"They probably didn't expect our family to be so bold, and the entire Li family was burned down, even if they couldn't find it, there would be nothing left."

But they didn't expect that not only was this piece of Zhangzi not buried in the sea of ​​flames, but it was discovered by Zhao En, the son of Dawan who lived in Luoyang many years later, and smuggled it out.But Zhao En's work was not clean, and he was found by Wuwei Pavilion's new faction, and he was hunted down all the way.Zhao En dared not reveal his martial arts because of his identity, and planned to lead the chasers to the border to kill them, but was intercepted by Wang Chenggan and brought back.

This is the truth of the false blessings and misfortunes.

Two fake blessings and misfortunes ruined a prosperous family.

Tang Yuan clenched his hands, and the two jade badges in his hand collided with each other crisply, and he stuffed them into Ma Gan's arms: "This jade badge... I'll leave it for you to think about it."

"But... young hero... this, is too..."

"Don't shirk, this is what you deserve. One of them was left by your Li family, and the other was bought with dozens of lives in your Li family. You take it as if your relatives are with you You, don't keep hatred in your heart. Li Shiyi has died tragically for revenge, you have to be good and be the last incense of the Li family."

Ma Gan took the two jade medals, and there was still a trace of confusion in his eyes: "Is Li Shishi... dead?"

"Dead." Tang Yuan replied with certainty, "But don't follow his path."

"But the family feud has not been reported..." Ma Gan murmured.

Tang Yuan half-kneeled in front of him, straightened his hemp clothes like Yuan Xiao tidied his clothes, and patted his shoulder: "Family feuds will be avenged."
