Chapter 56
When Yi Xingchen saw it, Chengji's memory told her that this person was pork tall wife. Yi Xingchen had already thought of a solution to this matter. He refused to accept it, so he looked at him blankly and said, "Auntie, I don't understand what you said?"
"It was around 3pm last night. Didn't you call my man out? I heard that the sound was very similar to yours."
Yi Xingchen thought to himself that when he went to call pork high last night, it was the pork high alone, and he did not report his name at that time, so even if he was based on his voice, he could not be completely sure. Therefore, as long as he refused to recognize the other party, there was nothing he could do.
Yi Xingchen's face showed a blank look: "Auntie, I don't quite understand what you said. I didn't call Uncle Gao last night. I went out tonight, but I went to Xicheng and was blocked by the officers and soldiers to the intersection for a night, but I didn't come here. How could I go to your pork shop? Besides, why should I go to him in the middle of the night?"
The woman was stunned and said, "Oh, I thought it was you. It sounded like you.--If it weren't for you, who would it be?"
Yi Xingchen smiled bitterly and said, "You can't be someone else except me? What's wrong? Didn't Uncle Gao go home?"
The woman said with a frown: "Yes, someone called him out last night, but he has never come back. I have never come back until now. I asked all the questions at my relative's house and recalled the sound of last night. It looked very similar to you, so I came over and asked. - Isn't it really you? I heard that the sound is quite like you."
Gongsun He, who was beside him, looked dark and stood up and said, "Pig Gao's family, it's wrong for you to speak like this. I heard that my apprentice abducted your man and sold it. Your man is an adult, my apprentice is a half-aged child. How can he do your man? Besides, my apprentice was blocked by officers and soldiers last night and couldn't even come back to your home. How could he go to your pork shop? It's ridiculous!"
When the woman saw Gongsun He getting angry, she suddenly lost her temper and said dryly: "Mr. Gongsun, oh, I'm just asking your apprentice, there's nothing else. Since it's not your apprentice who called my man away last night, then..., then forget it, I'll look for it again."
After saying that, the woman left in a hurry.
Yi Xingchen then breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that if Pork Gao had not been killed by him, he would not have died in his hands. He had set the pork Gao's head in the fire before, and even if his body was found, he would definitely not recognize him. Moreover, he did this to help his family. Because if the Jinyiwei found out that the fired house was the stronghold of the White Lotus Sect, he found the pork Gao's corpse inside, and maybe his family would be affected.
In the afternoon, two people came to tell fortunes and earned another ten cents. Gongsun He was very happy. On this day, Aunt Liu picked up vegetables to sell them at noon and gave them two handfuls of vegetables. It was not expensive, which made Gongsun He even happier. With the food, the dinner was quite sweet.
After dinner, Gongsun He went to the inner room to lie down and rest. It was the habit of the ancients who went to the sunrise and sunset. Yi Xingchen was not used to going to bed so early. Moreover, he would go and see how Li Xuehao was doing, and gave him some food and water. The bucket in the basement had been stabbed by him with a knife, and the water was flowing.
He packed his things and was about to go out, suddenly, the door knocked on the outside, and the sound was not loud. Yi Xingchen was a little strange. In his memory, there were very few people knocking on their door, and almost no one came to tell them fortunes late at night. Yi Xingchen quickly walked to the door and opened the door. He saw a tall man standing in front of him, his eyes were cold, but his face was filled with a flattering smile. Seeing Yi Xingchen, he quickly bent his tall body even more, and said with medicine: "Brother Yu, it's me."
Because it was dark and there was no light at the door, Yi Xingchen couldn't see the person's face clearly, but he heard the sound very familiar. From the other party's tall figure and voice, he immediately judged that this person was actually Peng Qingchen, the little Qi of the Jinyiwei, and was shocked and said quickly: "So it's Lord Xiaoqi, is there anything to ask me for?"
"Yes, I wonder if Brother Yi is free? Let's go out and find a place to sit. I have something to ask my brother for advice."
When Yi Xingchen heard that he was so polite, he immediately understood that the result of the hexagram he had calculated for him was that his boss was causing trouble for him, and this guy might lose his post and dismissal, so he thought of himself.
Since he knew the other party’s purpose, Yi Xingchen certainly had to put on airs and raise his value, so he deliberately said, “Are you here to tell my master fortune? I’ll ask my master to get up.”
"No, don't call me old man, I just want to talk to Brother Yi and ask me to help me tell you a fortune."
"Look for me? I'm not sure about fortune-telling."
"Little brother, the Mingren doesn't rub sand in his eyes. I know that Brother Yi is the real master of fortune-telling. Please help me."
"Uh..., Lord Xiaoqi praised it."
"Of course not, Brother Yi, I came here today in casual clothes just to avoid people's eyes and ears. There is a restaurant at the entrance of the alley. You and my brother go have a drink and chat while drinking. I wonder if my brothers are pleased with their faces?"
"My lord is so rude, you are an official and I am a civilian. I am so flattered to be able to give me a break. Since I have something to say, let's go, but I have to say hello to the master. Mr. wait."
"Okay, then I'm waiting here. Don't tell the old man that I'm here, just say you have something to do."
"I know this." Yi Xingchen turned around and returned to the house, told Gongsun He that he was going out for a walk, then came out to pull up the yard gate, followed Peng Qingchen and the other two out of the alley, and came to a restaurant across the street. The guests here were shouting and having fun.
When the runner saw them coming in, he hurriedly came over to greet him. Peng Qingchen lowered his head and carried the light on his back, preventing the other party from recognizing him. He kept his throat shut and said, "I want a secluded room, elegant seat, and a table of wine and food, so hurry up."
After saying that, he threw a small ingot of silver to the waiter. The waiter couldn't help but be overjoyed and quickly called the two of them upstairs to a secluded private room.
Peng Qingchen said to Yi Xingchen: "I only know now that my brother is really a master. I am a clumsy. I have neglected my brother before. I will apologize to you first." Say it, bow and bow.
Yi Xingchen quickly stood up and returned the favor and said, "How dare I take this by sir? Just give me some instructions, don't be so polite."
Peng Qingchen sat down and praised: "Actually, after you helped me calculate the murderer who killed Xinghua that night, I thought you were not simple and wanted to make friends with you. But I really couldn't get out of business. I didn't come to visit until today. It was really rude."
"Sir, I'm so harsh..."
As soon as he said this, the guy brought the wine and food. So Yi Xingchen and Peng Qingchen shut up.
After the wine and food were all over, the guy said slow to use it, pulled the door up and exited, Peng Qingchen turned around, poured a glass of wine for Yi Xingchen and Ziye, and held it toast three cups in a row.
Yi Xingchen was a high school student before traveling through time and didn't drink much. Except for his father asked him to drink one during the holidays, he usually didn't drink it. However, the wine in ancient times was relatively light, so it didn't matter if he went down three cups, so he drank it all. After a bit of wine, it felt pretty good.
He had already had supper before and didn't feel hungry. Although the table of wine and food looked very attractive, he didn't think it was strange that he had been used to eating chicken, duck, fish and meat in modern society. Therefore, after drinking, he ate two pickups of food and put down his chopsticks.
His calm expression surprised Peng Qingchen secretly. He thought Yi Xingchen was an apprentice of a poor fortune teller and had never eaten any wine and meat, so he set up a table of exquisite wine and food. He thought Peng Qingchen would swallow it voraciously. Unexpectedly, Yi Xingchen was not moved at all when he looked at the table of wine and food. It was indeed not simple. He couldn't help but feel a little more awe.
