Si Tian Guan

Chapter 12 Jiang Xingzhi

Liu Chongming could feel Bai Shiyan's foot touching him lightly under the table, and put down the teacup calmly.

"It was just a coincidence that our family's merchant ship picked up a sinking ship at sea, and there happened to be a piece of cargo for Eunuch Pan on board. I was afraid that Eunuch Pan would be in a hurry, so I wanted to tell him the news earlier, so I happened to ask for it. "

He smiled slightly: "The emperor often talks to my father about killing animals and creating karma, even if he is a slave, it must not be something the emperor would like to see, and it is always bad to spread it outside and spread it to the emperor's ears."

Hearing him mention the emperor, no one dared to say anything more.

Bai Shiyan was a little unhappy.

Are these people in the city watching the Liu family too closely?Could it be that every time Chongming came into contact with anyone, he would make them sound the alarm?

Liu Chongming shook his head slightly at him, telling him not to make a fuss and scare himself.

"Chongming is right. After all, it is a human life. What's more, that child is also a rare monster. It's a pity to die." Jiang Xingzhi said casually.

"Monster? Where is it strange?" Mu Jingde was curious.

There are many people who can answer this question for him.

"My lord doesn't know, this child's eyes are different from others, one is golden and the other is blue."

"Business Manager Du also said that the child never told a lie, it's not that he didn't dare, it was that he couldn't, he couldn't tell lies, he was born with it."

"Forget it, can you listen to what shopkeeper Du said? He also said that the child is very accurate in divination. Last time I came here, I didn't hear a word. He is obviously a little dumb."

"Yes, can you believe their words? The more evil they say, the higher the price they ask. Is this your first day out to play?"

"Not necessarily. The last time I went to the Immortal Tower, my husband said that I would lose my money the next day, so I didn't go out for a day, and it turned out that nothing happened."

Someone smiled and said, "This is pure deception. I don't know if you will be safe when you go out. I only know that you met him, and you really lost your money."

Amidst the roar of laughter, Mu Jingde also laughed: "Warlocks are bluffing and deceiving, just listen to it for fun, how can you take it seriously?"

"My lord, I think that kid is very interesting," Jiang Xingzhi said with a faint smile, "I also came to ask him for divination a few years ago."

Mu Jingde heard him speak formally, and hurriedly asked: "What result?"

"He didn't say anything, but just shook his head. Shopkeeper Du explained that this means that everything went smoothly. As a result, everything I did during that time really went smoothly."

Mu Jingde also couldn't help laughing out loud: "It's alright, it's not funny at all if you say such jokes in a serious manner."

A group of people laughed along.

"It's a credit to me to make the prince smile." Jiang Xingzhi turned his face and asked Liu Chongming beside him: "Where is Chongming? Have you ever played with these?"

Liu Chongming smiled and shook his head.

He said earlier that although he didn't believe it, he would not be disrespectful. While these people were expecting someone to divination the future, they used the profane word "play" to talk about it.

Jiang Xingzhi smiled: "This kind of thing, believe it or not, if you don't believe it, you save money, but you lose a lot of fun."

"Brother Xing, have you ever heard a story?" Liu Chongming asked back.

"What?" Jiang Xingzhi asked.

"Once upon a time, three scholars went to Beijing to rush for an exam. Before they left, they asked a fortune teller what the result of the exam was. The fortune teller raised a finger. As a result, only one of the three passed the exam."

Mu Jingde praised: "This is quite accurate."

"My lord praised it early," Jiang Xingzhi responded with a smile, "This fortune teller is playing tricks, no matter whether the three of them are admitted together, or fail together, only one person is admitted, or one person fails, it is all on his finger." calculations."

Only then did Mu Jingde understand the way in the story, and he couldn't help laughing: "It's a very cunning method."

"You can't believe it all, and you can't believe it." Jiang Xingzhi poured him wine and changed the subject: "My lord, even if there is no divination, you should look at the child's eyes. They are really exquisite and unearthly. things."

He had already heard others talk about the appearance of a "little monster" before, and Jiang Xingzhi's words made him even more interested.

"All right, because of this, you chose Qisheng Tower today?"

"My lord is very well-informed, but I racked my brains to remember it. There is something fun here. If your lord is happy, don't forget to give me a big reward."

Liu Chongming and Bai Shiyan looked at each other, and said something alarmist and ambiguous through divination. They had seen this situation more than once.

There used to be a Sitian official who played a pivotal role in a similar situation.

That time, King Huai was implicated and imprisoned for three months. He didn't reveal the truth until the last Sitian official was taken into prison for torture.

Although King Huai was released, the emperor suppressed the root cause of the incident and did not allow greater waves to arise.

The current situation is unclear, and Liu Chongming can't think of it. Jiang Xingzhi, who is an aide of the King of Qi, mentioned "that child". Is it really purely curious and interesting, or is he targeting someone?

Facing Bai Shiyan's questioning gaze, Liu Chongming could only shake his head apologetically.

Just because Jiang Xingzhi mentioned it, he couldn't help but think that he was outside Pan He's mansion, and he didn't really feel sorry for a life or something else, but he would actually rescue a little slave.

But what made him remember even more was that the child was trying desperately to get close to him in his arms, like a panicked little beast finally found a place of peace of mind.

And those whispers that became clearer and clearer.

"Chongming... Chongming..."

Liu Chongming's head hurt a little - he couldn't understand why a lowly servant dared to call him by such a name.

And with such a sense of nostalgia, they can only be regarded as having met twice at most.

Why does he always encounter all kinds of weird things recently?

While chatting and laughing here, someone has already gone to look for the waiter outside, and said hello to the sign in the building.

Not long after, there were numerous footsteps on the stairs, and Du Quan, the owner of Qisheng Building, entered the door with a smile on his face.

"Greetings to all the masters, may I ask which master wants to ask for a divination?"

His eyes quickly looked around, many people were distinguished guests who often showed up in Beijing, he recognized them all, and naturally he also recognized that Prince An Ding was at the table, but there was another person sitting at the table of the prince.

There are many nobles in Beijing, but there are only a few of them at this age who can sit on the royal table.

Du Quan was both ecstatic and terrified in his heart, he didn't dare to look more, and he didn't dare to rest his eyes on anyone, he could only look at the table cautiously, waiting for someone to answer his words.

"Business Manager Du's business is booming," Jiang Xingzhi smiled and helped him out: "I haven't been here for several years. I didn't expect that the divination sign on Shopkeeper Du's place was withdrawn. What happened?"

Du Quan apologized with an embarrassed smile: "Jiang Changshi is busy, and nothing major happened, just..."

He hesitated for a while, although he would lose most of his money if he said this, many people just left after listening to it, but if he didn't say the truth up front, in case there was no result in a while, these nobles would feel that they were justified. If you play around, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat and walk around.

These people are not fools.

"That's right..." He smiled wryly: "Brother Xiaoqu is also getting older, I think it's because he has eaten too much smoke and fire in the world, and he is not as bright as he was when he was a child. Once in twenty times, it is good to say something. Others just shake their heads and don't know." , the villain dare not make such bad money, so he can only withdraw his brand."

"Just shake your head?" Jiang Xingzhi keenly captured the words in it: "What does shaking your head mean?"

Du Quan was surprised and didn't know how to explain it, so he could only shake his head in a panic: "This...so, shaking his head just doesn't know..."

"That's it," Jiang Xingzhi tapped his palm lightly with his fan, and said to Mu Jingde with a smile, "My lord, I suddenly had a doubt just now."

When it is inconvenient to reveal their identities, they always call Mu Jingde like this.

"All right, don't hold your breath." Mu Jingde knew his subordinate well, and knew that he would never have such twists and turns in his life, otherwise he wouldn't need these advisers and staff: " Just say anything."

"It's not an important matter. I just remembered that the child just shook his head last time. Shopkeeper Du explained on his own initiative, saying that I have no illness or disaster, and everything is going well."

Jiang Xingzhi chuckled: "I just heard the story mentioned by Chongming, and I suddenly wondered, what does this 'head shaking' mean? Don't you know? Can't figure it out? Or don't you want to say it?"

While speaking, the young man with his hands tied behind his back was pushed through the door, and just staggered two steps when he was kicked in the crook of his knee and fell to his knees.

Hearing Jiang Xingzhi's words, he gasped slightly and slowly raised his head.

Qu Chenzhou knew that he was doomed.
