The matter was settled for the time being. Zhufeng thanked the men in Gushu Alley, exchanged a few pleasantries, and everyone went back to their homes.
After getting the Qingyu hexagram, Zhufeng went out with peace of mind. Others discussed another matter.
The incident was aggravating, and although the troublemaker was temporarily eliminated, the work of reading fortunes, telling fortunes, and getting medicine was all in vain.
Hongtao couldn't swallow this breath, so she hugged Qingyu's arm and said aggrievedly, "Junior sister, headmaster, when is the good time? You have been bullied to the front door, but I am going to die."
Qingyu raised the corner of her mouth slightly: "Now is a good time."
She cast her gaze on the dark green wall in front of her. It was time to remove this nail that had been there for a long time.
At that time, in the county governor's mansion, Pan Ming felt warm all over after taking a hot bath. He was thinking about the man from Wuxian County, Huaizhou, so he called his attendants to dress him.
After he was dressed again, two maids dried his hair.
The room was warm. Pan Ming temporarily closed his eyes to rest, but he was thinking about what he would ask the people from Wuxian County when he saw him later. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. His hand unconsciously touched his heart, and he squeezed it without wanting to.
Suddenly, my heart skipped a beat. I opened my eyes suddenly and asked, "Where is my jade pendant?"
The attendant came after hearing the sound and said in confusion: "I didn't see the jade pendant just now. I thought you had put it away, young master."
Pan Ming suddenly panicked, and walked to the table in a few steps, "Impossible, I put the jade pendant and the sachet sachet together when I was changing clothes. Didn't you see it just now?"
The two attendants were also a little panicked and shook their heads and said they didn't see it.
Pan Ming became more and more anxious. He lay on the ground and looked around, "It's impossible, I obviously put them together."
The attendants and maids also hurriedly searched for it, but the room was so big. They searched inside and outside, even searching the corners of the cabinet, but couldn't find it.
An attendant asked cautiously: "Young Master, could it be that you fell into the river? I would like to send someone to look for him in the river."
Pan Ming was so anxious that he said, "It's impossible. When I came back, the jade pendant was still around my neck. I took it off and put it on the table with my own hands. It's definitely in this room, it's definitely in this room."
You hurry up and search again, call the others over, and search carefully for me. Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you still have to find it for me."
The courtyard, which was quiet at first, suddenly became busy. stools, tables, and beds were moved. Everything in Pan Ming's bedroom was moved out, even the quilt cover was removed, but the jade pendant was still not found.
Seeing that the young master was so anxious that he had nothing to do, he was about to order someone to dig the ground. Pi San, who came from nowhere, stopped him.
After hearing the whole story, Pi San looked at the mess in the yard and advised: "The jade pendant was indeed placed on the table, I saw it with my own eyes, but even if it is really lost, it is enough to find it to this extent.
In my opinion, this jade pendant was not lost, but stolen."
Pan Ming was startled. Everyone in his courtyard had been his ambassador since he was a child. Not to mention that he had never lost other valuable things. Everyone in the courtyard knew that his jade pendant was his darling, and there was no way he would steal it.
When the servants heard this, they all looked flustered, angry and aggrieved. The maid in the courtyard stood up and accused: "Sir, you have no evidence. Why do you say we stole it?"
We have served the young master for more than ten years and have never taken a copper coin privately. Mr. has wronged us like this. Although we are servants, we will never accept it."
Pan Ming also nodded and said: "The people in my courtyard are all people I trust. They will never have dirty hands and feet. They must have accidentally thrown it somewhere. You have to search carefully in this courtyard and this courtyard."
Everyone was about to clear up the courtyard again, but Pi San's face was filled with regret, "I'm not referring to the people in the courtyard. This matter is my fault."
...
Zhao Qian was sitting on the woodpile to rest his breath when he saw Pan Ming walking quickly towards the woodshed, followed by several servants. He quickly stood up and went to meet him, but before he could get closer, he was blocked by several people behind Pan Ming.
A servant was caught.
Zhao Qian didn't know why, "Young Master, what is this?"
Pan Ming frowned slightly and looked at Pi San: "Sir, do you have any evidence? If it is without evidence, then it is an unjust accusation."
Pi San stood up and said, "Don't worry, young master, the common people will help you find your things."
He came to Zhao Qian and scolded him sternly: "Bold thief, we already know that you have stolen the young master's jade pendant. Please return it immediately. The young master is kind-hearted. If you hand it over voluntarily, you can avoid the death penalty."
"
Zhao Qian became more and more confused, "What do you mean? What about stealing the jade pendant? When did I steal the young master's jade pendant? Where did you say that?"
Pi San snorted, "It seems that you can't shed tears until you see the coffin. Let me ask you, because there was a shortage of manpower in the young master's yard, I asked you to send two bundles of firewood to the young master's yard. Is that right?"
Zhao Qian hummed, "Exactly, you took me there yourself."
"Then after you delivered the firewood, did you enter the young master's room?"
Zhao Qian vaguely guessed something and said angrily: "That's why I went there because you asked me to bring hot water to the young master."
"You admit that you did enter the young master's room." Pi San looked sternly, "Then what else do you have to say.
Apart from you, only the people in the young master's courtyard have been in and out of the room, but they are loyal to the young master, so how could they steal. But your family almost starved to death on the street. Although the county guard kindly took you in, you are too greedy.
Change, when you see money, you become thief..."
"What you said is simply better than a storyteller." Zhao Qian's face turned red with anger, and he interrupted Pi San, "It was you who asked me to deliver firewood and water to the young master's courtyard, so I went there.
When I brought the water in, the young master was in the bathtub. I am so ambitious that I can still steal things under the young master's nose?"
Mrs. Tong, who came out after hearing the sound, also hurriedly stepped forward to help her husband, "We are all honest people and have never taken anything from others in our lives. How can you impose the crime on us with no evidence or evidence?"
There are so many people coming and going in the house, it’s impossible to explain. If you frame people like this, we can only ask the county governor to seek justice."
Pi San sneered: "Evidence, of course I have evidence."
He pinched his fingers and muttered something. After a while, he turned back to Pan Ming and said, "Young Master, the common people just made a fortune and your jade pendant is indeed in this room."
Pan Ming was a little confused, "May I ask, sir, how you calculated it?"
He had seen fortune-telling by Shi'an and Hongtao, which were based on the combination of the four life pillars, the five mountains, four mountains, three stops and the thirty-six palaces, etc., but he had never seen Pi San's method.
Pi San smiled slightly: "Nothing can be hidden from the eyes of ordinary people. If the young master doesn't believe it, ask someone to search his room and they will find out. Most of them are at the end of the bed, the corner of the closet, table, etc., or in the pockets and shoes of the young master.
Socks and stuff like that.”
Zhao Qian saw that he was very sure and felt guilty. He did not take it, but at this moment, he felt that the person in front of him was sure to kill him.
He immediately stopped him and said, "You just want to search? Why do you search? You think I stole it before you came to search. So, after all, there is no evidence."
You said your calculation is accurate, that's a coincidence. I also know a family who can calculate it accurately. If Young Master is correct, please let me invite them over and let them calculate it and see where this jade pendant is.
