Chapter 359: Take money from others and help them get rid of disasters!

Wu Meiniang's originally gentle and peaceful face was instantly distorted when the words "two taels of silver" were heard.

Her two carefully drawn eyebrows suddenly pulled up, forming a deep "川" shape.

His eyes widened, his cheeks puffed up with anger, and he suddenly bounced up from the ground.

"Spirit of God, have you lost your mind? You're asking for two taels of silver just to tell my fortune?"

Her voice was a bit shrill.

"Do you know how many lives these two taels of silver can buy you?"

Hearing Wu Meiniang's reckless scolding, Zhang Xuanwei pretended not to hear it, and just curled his lips very slightly, with the curve of his mouth full of disdain.

He leisurely raised his right hand, stretched out his index finger and slowly inserted it into his nostrils, digging there as if no one was around, and then rubbed his finger on the sole of his shoe in a very indecent manner.

"Old Wu, look at your violent temper."

"I charged you less because you have a beautiful face like a flower!"

"Do you know who I am?"

As he spoke, he shook his head, and the complacency on his face became more and more intense.

"I am now a physiognomist standing shoulder to shoulder with Yuan Tiangang, who is revered as the Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty. He is the Imperial Master, and I am a magician. The difference between the two is only in the title, but in reality, we are the same."

"For a mere two taels of silver, I, a Tang Dynasty mage, can reveal the secrets of heaven to you. Just be happy!"

"You know, I'm revealing a secret, and it's really going to shorten my life!"

"If you don't like it, then forget it. I'm too lazy to bother with it!"

Wu Meiniang was still angry when she heard Zhang Xuanwei's boastful words, but she couldn't help but feel a little shaken under her anger.

To be fair, this kid does show some astonishing abilities from time to time.

If not, why would Your Majesty grant him the honorary title of a wizard, keep him in the palace, and provide him with good food and drink?

"Spiritual charlatan, tell me, can these two taels of silver really solve the current predicament?"

Although there was still suspicion in Wu Meiniang's tone, it was more inquisitive.

Zhang Xuanwei rolled his eyes and stared at Wu Meiniang with the contempt of a frog in a well.

"Old Wu, don't let your wishful thinking stop you!"

"If these two taels of silver can completely settle this case, then what are we still doing with those people from the Dali Temple?"

"Let me be clear with you. My fortune-telling is merely to point you in a general direction. It's not about handing you a ready-made answer!"

"Do you understand?"

When Wu Meiniang heard this, she became more and more conflicted.

The purchasing power of these two taels of silver is truly amazing at the moment, enough to easily exchange for at least three strings of coins.

Considering the value, it does not seem to be entirely unacceptable to spend two taels of silver in order to pursue a clue that may solve the mystery of the case.

But the question is, is this mysterious Zhang Xuanwei in front of us really capable, or is he just a facade and can only play tricks?

Her eyes wandered over Zhang Xuanwei, and she was speechless at the sight of him still being unaware of himself after picking his nose and still looking unrestrained and carefree.

Forget it, now that the clue has been completely cut off, it is better to just trust him this time and treat this dead horse as a living one.

If it works, everyone will be happy. If it doesn't, we will definitely find a way to get it back from him with interest in the future.

Thinking of this, Wu Meiniang gritted her teeth, raised her jade hand, and two taels of silver flew towards Zhang Xuanwei.

Zhang Xuanwei was prepared. He flashed and stretched out his hands quickly, catching the two taels of silver steadily.

Without even looking at it, he stuffed the silver into his sleeve.

Although I have no shortage of money on a daily basis, as the saying goes, "a tower is made of a grain of sand, and a coat is made of feathers." No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat.

Zhang Xuanwei turned his head to glance at Wu Meiniang, then strode to Di Renjie's side.

Di Renjie was frowning, immersed in deep thought about the case, and was completely unaware of everything around him.

Zhang Xuanwei stretched out his hand without any hesitation and slapped Di Renjie's shoulder hard.

"Xiao Di, stop overthinking it. You're really lucky today! Your sister Wu was so kind and gave you the money!"

Di Renjie was instantly broken out of his thoughts by the sudden and powerful slap.

He slowly raised his head and looked at Zhang Xuanwei blankly, his eyes still showing the concentration of thinking, and he had not yet fully recovered from the complicated logic of the case.

"Remember! I, Zhang Xuanwei, always take money from people and help them get rid of disasters! I'm honest and always compare prices before shopping!"

Zhang Xuanwei shouted at the top of his voice, and at the same time, he fumbled around in his chest with his hands and pulled out a shiny black turtle shell with mysterious patterns.

Then, he took out a few old mountain ghost coins from the cloth bag on his waist, muttered something, and threw the mountain ghost coins into the turtle shell.

Then he grasped the turtle shell tightly with both hands, waved his arms vigorously, and began to shake it wildly.

The turtle shell made a crackling sound in his hands.

After shaking for a long time, he slowly stopped, with beads of sweat oozing out of his forehead.

He placed the turtle shell in front of his eyes, his eyes wide open, staring at the hexagram inside the shell very seriously, his expression solemn.

Everyone was attracted by his series of actions. They gathered around him and stared at him without blinking. They couldn't wait to see what Zhang Xuanwei could calculate from the hexagram.

The shaking stopped for a long time, and Zhang Xuanwei's brows became more and more furrowed.

Finally, he spoke slowly, his voice full of meaning: "The hexagram shows that the clues to this case are far away in the sky, but they are right before our eyes!"

When everyone heard this ambiguous answer, they were all stunned with their mouths open.

Wu Meiniang was so furious that she jumped up, put her hands on her hips, and shouted, "Two taels of silver? That's it? You damned charlatan! Give me back the two taels of silver! You're clearly playing tricks on us, fooling honest people!"

Zhang Xuanwei was not moved at all, and just glanced at Wu Meiniang who was a little dissatisfied.

"Be patient. My Ma Yi sect is not like some shameless students of astronomy who only know how to make up stories! Since the hexagrams have already shown that the clues are within sight, we only need to wait patiently, and the clues will surface naturally."

As soon as Zhang Xuanwei finished speaking, he saw two figures in flying fish costumes running towards them at the end of the street.

The flying fish suit shows the extraordinary status of its owner.

It’s two centurions!

The people who came were Su Jin and Chu Muyun.

"County Magistrate Di, County Magistrate Wu, we are searching everywhere for you!"

Su Jin spoke first, with a warm expression.
