Si Tian Guan
Chapter 13
Qu Chenzhou knew that he was doomed.
I kept hiding and hiding, but I didn't expect to meet Jiang Xingzhi, let alone the person who revealed this secret would be Jiang Xingzhi.
He didn't have time to think about whether he had divination for Jiang Xingzhi in the Qisheng Tower, but he recognized this person, the counselor who was hiding beside King Qi.
In the past, he thought that Jiang Xingzhi was King Huai, but afterward, many confusing things gradually denied his guess.
Before the night of forcing the palace, Jiang Xingzhi's whereabouts were unknown. He didn't know where Jiang Xingzhi went and what happened in the end, but he knew that this person would not be messed with.
You can't get to the bottom of it in front of Pan He, let alone in front of Jiang Xingzhi.
especially about...
His eyes finally fell on Liu Chongming, and then he lowered his head.
From the first time I saw Liu Chongming clearly in the old chaifang, I saw the same hexagrams as when I first met him in Jinxi Academy.
Man of God.
Qu Chenzhou smiled wryly in his heart, if he wasn't a man determined by God, how could he escape from the catastrophe of the Liu family, and how could he be able to ascend to the golden throne and change the dynasty.
This terrible hexagram is still hanging there.
Regardless of whether Liu Chongming's divination will come to him today, he would rather be beaten to death than open his mouth.
And with Jiang Xingzhi's words, no matter whether he opens his mouth today, Du Quan will be awakened and realize how many times he has been cheated and how much money he has lost over the years-this time, he may really be doomed.
He really can't survive this time.
Du Quan was really shocked, and his mind suddenly became clear.
He is a businessman, and his goal in life is to make money, otherwise he would not have bought such a young child.
Everyone knows that a slave who is too young is delicate, and it is still a matter of whether he can be raised, let alone make money, and no one will buy it.At first, he just wanted to use those demon eyes to deceive people, but he didn't expect that the sign would be effective every time after it was posted.
He was so clever that he also began to believe in it, and even divination himself occasionally, because Qu Chenzhou was usually silent like a mute, so he accepted the child's silent shaking of his head without any doubt, and the default was that there was no result.
Moreover, since the severe beating a few years ago, the little beast has been deaf and dumb for more than a year. Even if he is unwilling, he can only accept the reality that he has to take off the brand.
Nowadays, people occasionally come to ask for divination. Most of them are introduced by former customers, but they leave disappointed without exception.
Hearing these enlightening words until today, recalling the events of these years, those white money slipping through his fingers, his hands are trembling.
This ungrateful bastard has cheated him for so long.
He never thought that a child trembling under the whip would have such courage.
But he still has reason after all, even if the anger is running around like crazy, he can't show it here, he can only smile a little reluctantly.
"Young Master Jiang was joking. He doesn't like to talk in the first place. When he shakes his head, there is no good or bad hexagrams. Everything is as usual, safe and auspicious."
"There is another good thing about this kid. He never tells lies. Everything he says is absolutely true. The villain has raised him for more than ten years, and he never lies!"
Everyone laughed when they saw what he was talking about, and they didn't care about these things with him.
It's just a businessman, the more gimmicks, the higher the price.
Careful to see that the face of the young man in the seat did not look angry, Du Quan added with a smile: "The villain dare not lie to you, and Jiang Changshi has been here before, so he should know that if this child shakes his head, the shop will not take any money. It’s just for you to watch something fresh.”
"It's new," someone yelled: "Shopkeeper, I haven't seen the real thing just now. Is it possible that you want money for a look?"
"How dare, how dare, this child is just shy, everyone wants to see, just watch enough."
Du Quan took a few steps back, pinched Qu Shenzhou's jaw, forcing him to raise his face.
Liu Chongming listened to the exclamations all around, and his eyes stopped on the fruit plate on the table, and he didn't stare at it like others.
For some reason, he was terribly resistant to the situation, just as he was somehow drawn to that gaze.
Maybe it was because I saw these eyes in that dream?
When those monster eyes looked over, he was a little dazed.
The calmness and forbearance that did not match his age at that moment flashed in the beautiful pupils of different colors.
That child is like a piece of peerless beautiful jade hanging above the abyss, making people want to fly over to save it desperately, and also want to see how this beautiful jade looks when its calmness is broken by despair.
But he wanted to break it up and gather it up by himself, instead of seeing the child kneeling there like a pig or sheep waiting to be slaughtered, letting others enjoy him without any resistance.
Mu Jingde didn't make a fuss like the others, he watched it with interest for a while, and asked, "Why are you still tied up?"
Du Quan hurriedly replied: "Young Master Lao asked, this child is afraid that he let go of secrets when he was young, and now he has suffered retribution, and now he is infected with madness, and has seizures from time to time. He is afraid that he will hurt you nobles."
His answer was very flattering, while secretly saying that the divination signboard of Qishenglou was not a lie, while also saving face for Eunuch Pan who had offended him before.
Hearing what he said, naturally someone at the table thought about Eunuch Pan and couldn't help snickering and whispering.
"Treasurer Du, what is that on his face, it doesn't seem to be there a few years ago." Jiang Xingzhi asked.
"Mr. Jiang, that's why I'm afraid it's retribution. He only has one pair of eyes to see people now, and the lower half of his face is very scary. He is afraid of offending everyone, so he wears a mask when he comes out to meet guests."
Liu Chongming sneered.
After he had that weird dream, he sent someone to chat with the steward of Qisheng Building, and after hearing that the child could not divination, his life was more difficult than other slaves.
Like that day, being hanged and beaten in the firewood room until he was bruised is said to be a common occurrence for that child.
How could the scar on his face be retribution, it was pulled out with a whip, and there are still such deep marks, who knows what he was like when he was beaten back then.
That's why Liu Chongming didn't understand what kind of environment could breed such eyes, which were so calm beyond life and death, just like the one he just looked at himself.
He also couldn't figure out how such a person would suddenly go crazy and smash Pan He.
"Treasurer Du," he said casually, staring at the little group kneeling there, "How much is he doing for one divination?"
The people around knew that he was rich and kept his money, so they all started to boo. Even Mu Jingde looked over with a smile: "Is it true that Chongming doesn't believe this? How can he be willing to waste his money?"
Jiang Xingzhi also joked: "Master Du, this is the patron, you might as well open your mouth like a lion."
"It's just for fun, what's the point of just looking at it?" Liu Chongming smiled indifferently: "Young master returned safely, it is worth celebrating, and it's rare that Brother Xing chose such a good place, why do you just take a look?"
It has been a long time since I made any money from this business. Du Quan was so happy that he almost burst into tears, he hurriedly replied: "300 taels a time, no money if you don't know the result!"
"It's so expensive, no wonder Shi Yan persuaded me to do some fortune-telling business too," Liu Chongming smiled: "Then count how many of us there are, and each of us has a chance, how about it?"
Jiang Xingzhi grinned: "Master, Chongming is willing to cut out the flesh like this. It's really embarrassing for him. Anyway, I can see Chongming's sincerity."
"Master Du," Liu Chongming raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Brother Xing will be spared that time."
Mu Jingde laughed loudly: "All right, I'll make it up for you that time."
"Master Xie, it's disrespectful to do it," Jiang Xingzhi smiled and cupped his hands, and then looked at the man kneeling on the ground with his head bowed: "Shopkeeper, let me understand this time, don't fool me by shaking your head in a muddle."
Du Quan was elated when he heard that, rubbed his hands together with joy, and pushed Qu Shenzhou: "Shen Zhou! Why are you standing there! You can't pass!"
Amidst the laughter all around, Qu Chenzhou looked down at the ground, slowly moved his knees, knelt and approached the table, and whispered very softly: "Bu Gu..."
Someone nearby heard it and asked in puzzlement, "What is a divination bone?"
"Young Master Lao asked, when this child does divination, he has to pinch the bones to be smart."
Du Quan hadn't seen him so obedient for a long time, so he hurriedly asked someone to take back the prepared oracle bone, and then asked someone to untie him, and hurriedly stuffed the oracle bone into his hand with joy: "Quick!"
Qu Chenzhou propped himself on the ground with one hand, panting slightly, as if he was being strangled by the bondage just now, he slowly raised his head after a while, and set his eyes on Mu Jingde.
"Presumptuous!" Someone shouted.
That gaze moved to Jiang Xingzhi again.
Jiang Xingzhi also looked at him, frowning slightly.
It's not a good feeling to be stared at by these eyes, as if every move is really seen through.
It was also because of this uncomfortable strangeness that Jiang Xingzhi was even more impressed with this person.
Someone laughed: "It looks like that. How can you choose someone yourself? It seems that brother Xing should be the first..."
Before he finished speaking, Qu Chenzhou suddenly jumped up like crazy, this time he didn't throw the oracle bone, but grabbed the nearest teapot.
"Grab him!" Du Quan was the first to react, his scalp tightened, and he rushed over desperately while yelling at him, throwing Qu Chenzhou to the ground.
But it's too late.
The teapot was thrown out forcefully, but because of Du Quan's sharp eyesight and quick hands, the teapot that was originally thrown at Jiang Xingzhi was deflected, and a pot of tea and green tea leaves were poured on Liu Chongming's face.
Everything happened so suddenly that Bai Shiyan beside Liu Chongming didn't even have time to reach out.
The room immediately became quiet, except for Qu Shenzhou, who was firmly held down by someone under Du Quan's feet, let out an uncontrollable moan of pain.
Everyone looked at Liu Chongming who was still holding a teacup... With a tea leaf on his head, the blue tea dripped down his temples and chin.
Du Quan kicked a few times and roared, "Drag this bastard out for me! Beat it to death! Don't keep it!"
After the door was closed and the servants dragged him out, he rushed over tremblingly crying, and knelt down at Liu Chongming's feet, frantically trying to help him wipe.
"My lord, your lord has a lot, don't be as knowledgeable as a crazy beast, he is really crazy! The villain... is a petty man who is obsessed with wealth, so he shouldn't be let out. I will let someone beat him up." Die, let me calm you down."
"Is it really crazy?" Liu Chongming's face was so cold that a layer of frost could be scraped off.
Du Quan almost burst into tears. If this master wanted money like Eunuch Pan, he might not be such an easy master.
"It's really madness. Everyone in the building knows it. Otherwise, how could the villain pick up his brand without making any money?"
"Madness is good, I am the best at curing madness," Liu Chongming sneered, and wiped the tea dripping from his head: "If he dies so cheaply, who shall I cure? Shopkeeper Du, do you think so?" ?”
I kept hiding and hiding, but I didn't expect to meet Jiang Xingzhi, let alone the person who revealed this secret would be Jiang Xingzhi.
He didn't have time to think about whether he had divination for Jiang Xingzhi in the Qisheng Tower, but he recognized this person, the counselor who was hiding beside King Qi.
