If you don't count, you will die

Silently concentrating, as if feeling something, he got up and followed the people in front of him, arriving at Jiuzhong's Law Enforcement Hall.

As the capital of the country, Jiuzhong does not have a separate governor. All cases are directly accepted by the Law Enforcement Hall. Larger cases will even be handed over directly to the court to attract the attention of the emperor. Therefore, Jiuzhong rarely has cases. The sound of the startling drum rang, which really attracted the attention of a large number of people, who rushed to watch.

Silence was squeezed into the crowd, looking through the moving heads.

In the spacious and bright law enforcement hall, Shi An knelt there, suing a couple sadly, accusing them of being "unscrupulous, moral, and merciless people."

In the law enforcement hall, a row of solemn black-clothed guards stood on both sides, each with a serious expression and a broad knife on their waist.

In the hall, there was a man leaning crookedly behind the ebony desk. The man had normal features, a most common public face, he looked like everyone, but he didn't look like anyone. However, the corners of the robe and the cuffs are much finer than those of the guards next to him, with a little more golden lines. The whole person is incompatible with this solemn law enforcement hall, but no one is surprised.

He was bored listening to old Mr. Shi'an's sharp accusation without raising his eyes.

It turned out that for this couple, the wife was not the original spouse, but a continuation. There were two sons in the family. The eldest son was over fifteen years old and was the son of the original spouse who had died of illness. The youngest son was only two or three years old and was born after the continuation.

This family of four is neither rich nor poor. It is not difficult to maintain food and clothing. Before the youngest son was born, the eldest son still had a place, but since the birth of the youngest son, the eldest son has become a thorn in the side of the stepmother.

The eldest son is named Lou Xi, who loves learning and has a bit of spirituality. When the younger son was not born, his father hoped that his son would become a dragon, so he sent him to Dexiu Academy, hoping that he would have a future. .

But since the youngest son was born, the family had to raise two children, and the stepmother was very strict with the food and use of the youngest son. It was gradually difficult for Lou Xi to go to college, so after listening to the pillow talk for a few days, he went to In addition, the youngest son is really sensible and cute, so Lou's father asked Lou Xi to stop going to school.

Of course Lou Xi himself didn’t want to, but the reality forced him, and he was soft-tempered, so he had to let it go. He could change it in Shi An, a respected old man in Dexiu Academy. At this time, Mr. An always cared for students and made selfless dedication. Cherishing talents and loving talents. Hearing about this, he offered to sponsor Lou Xi to study. Lou Xi was overjoyed and thought he could continue his studies. Unexpectedly, Lou's father still disagreed, meaning that he wanted Lou Xi to go out to work and help raise his younger brother. , such things as studying and becoming a talent have his younger brother to replace him.Although Lou Xi has a soft temper, he is also very stubborn in the face of the hard-won opportunity to study. He would rather be scolded by Lou's father and mother every day, but also ask to learn.

But as time went by, from mere scolding to physical punishment, there were always scars on his body. Lou Xi was terrified all day long, and Mr. Shi An noticed it. Incessantly, I went to Lou's house many times to seek justice, but how can a scholar quarrel with a rough countryman?Even though he was defeated again and again, he was still defeated again and again, this matter was a joke in the academy.

But today, Mr. Shi's alarm is not only because of the loss of morality of the Lou couple, but also because of Lou Xi's disappearance.

Yes, Lou Xi hasn’t come to the academy for a few days. Shi An went to Lou’s house to look for him but couldn’t find him. Lou’s father and Lou mother said that Shi An lost his temper and ran out again. After being scolded, he ran out to sleep outside, so Lou's father and Lou's mother didn't care at all, they could go to Lou Xi to sleep outside, and they all stayed at Mr. Shi's house. Going to the academy, after a few days, how can Shi An not be worried?

After several times of searching, no one could be found, and Shi'an was at a loss, so he had no choice but to knock on this shocking drum.

After a while, the Lous and his wife were brought over. As soon as they arrived at the law enforcement hall, they quarreled with Mr. Shi.

Finally, the unrighteous person in the hall sat up straight, knocked on the gavel, and suspended the quarrel between the two sides.

The man spoke, his voice was also lazy and flat: "Tell me, what should I do?"

The people in the hall didn't seem to be surprised by his reaction, and the surrounding people just whispered a few words among themselves.

"Master Su still handles cases the same way."

"Yeah, it never changes."

At this time, Shi An spoke first, "My lord, the most urgent thing is to find Lou Xi first."

The Lous didn't object when they heard this, "We found that kid, let's confront him face to face, whether we kicked him out or not!"

Master Nasu waved his hand when he heard this, and only said one word: "Check!"

Then a group of guards in black filed out, passed through the position vacated by the crowd, and disappeared into the corner of the street.

Afterwards, Master Su opened his mouth and yawned indecently, then stretched out without any hesitation, put one hand on the desk and fell asleep.

Seeing him falling asleep, the people in the hall were very quiet, kneeling or standing on both sides, and even the passers-by who were watching him scattered and left softly.

The crowd dispersed, Shen Mo looked back as if feeling something, and saw the shade of a tree not far away, the two stood there one after the other and looked towards this side, and they didn't shy away when they noticed Shen Mo looked over, the one in front Instead, he smiled at Shen Mo, his smile was calm and calm, taking advantage of his more amorous and romantic face, it attracted a few young ladies who were peeking in the corner to laugh softly.

Mo Mo touched the black cloth on his eyes, and walked towards the direction of those two people.

He walked very steadily, and he didn't look like a blind man at all. He didn't know what the purpose of wearing the black cloth was. The boots were spotless, and the posture of stepping on the ground was very stable. Afterwards, he left without stopping.

These two people were the only ones who had done fortune-telling with Shen Mo, Lin Mu and Wen Pu.

We all know that today's emperor is disabled and lacks a left leg, but Lin Mu's legs are still healthy and he walks steadily. How can he explain the hexagram "If you are a king, you will die"?

At this moment, Shen Mo was puzzled, but he had other important matters at this time, so he walked out of the city without thinking too much.

There is a river near the ruined temple where he stayed for the past few days, and this is his current destination.

He already had some guesses in his mind about what "Water Mountain Jian" lived in, and he just waited for this confirmation.

Although he has acquired the ability of divination due to the fortune-telling system, the use of this extraneous skill is still jerky, and Shen Mo is slowly groping.

The upper hexagram of the Jian hexagram is Kan, which is water, and the lower hexagram is gen, which is a mountain. There is water in the mountains, and the mountains are heavy and the waters are repeated. The hexagram words, the final answer must be in the three-character hexagram name.

Then Lou Xi, if not in the mountains, then in the water.

Shen Mo gradually approached the river, but saw that several guards in black were already surrounded by the river, standing upright with knives, waiting in full force, and among them was a person with his body facing down and a wet suit.

The Law Enforcement Hall has a large number of people and strong martial arts skills. There is no need for divination, even if you search the whole city randomly, it is one step faster than silence.

When Shen Mo saw them, the guards seemed to have sensed Shen Mo's approach. At this time, their faces were not good, and they were strictly forbidden to approach.

Shen Mo took another step forward, only to find that the guards were not moving, but their eyes were on behind Shen Mo.

Turning around suddenly, behind him, there are two people standing there not far away, this scene is so familiar, when the person in front sees the silence, his eyebrows and tails are raised, his eyes are very thought-provoking.

"..." It turned out that it was not the silence that made the guards wary, but these two people.

Seeing Shen Mo standing still, the two men walked slowly, the corners of the robes of the person in front of them fluttered as they walked, and they walked in a graceful manner.

"What a coincidence, we meet again."

Walking in front of him, the man bowed his head and smiled.

At this time, Mo Mo was sixteen years old, and his height barely reached the man's shoulders. When he got close, he felt overwhelming.

He remained silent, turned around directly, and continued to look at the figure covered by several tall guards. The man has remained motionless until now. I don't know if he passed out because of something, or... is dead?

Lin Mu was not angry at Shen Mo's ignorance, and even Wen Pu behind him didn't react too much this time, only to see Lin Mu stepping forward, coming to Shen Mo's side, saying: "That man is already dead. "

Shen Mo tilted his head, covered by a black cloth, although he couldn't see Mo Mo's eyes, Lin Mu seemed to know what Mo Mo wanted to ask, and replied: "Look at his chest and back, he didn't even have a slight ups and downs, he just didn't breathe. , What is a person who can not breathe for such a long time if he is not a dead person?"

Hearing this, Mo Mo looked at the crouching person, it was the time when the sun was at its strongest, the distance between that person was not far but not close, looking through the distance that seemed to be twisted by the sun, it was blurry, How can you see whether the chest rises and falls?

This Lin Mu is afraid that she has extraordinary talents, and her identity will not be simple.

After a while, there were rustling footsteps and occasional disputes not far away, and as the sound got closer, it was clear that the eccentric Mr. Su came with a group of guards, Shi An and Lou Shi here.

At that time, Mr. An stopped when he saw the crouching figure, as if he couldn't believe it.

"Lou Analysis!"

Seeing this, the Lou couple screamed in shock and ran over first.

As they got closer, they were stopped by the black-clothed guards and they were not allowed to take a step forward.

Master Su walked over slowly step by step behind him, looked around and turned a blind eye to the silent people, and just said lazily: "This person is already dead, it's better not to touch the corpse rashly."

"died?!"

"What? This bastard is dead? How is that possible?"

Then Lou's father yelled at Lou Xi who was lying on the ground, "Lou Xi! Lou Xi! You son of a bitch, get up!"

The Lous and his wife were blocked by the guards, and they still wanted to break through the cover of the guards, but they were stopped a foot away by the guards.

Mr. Shi had already walked over slowly at this time, stumbling on his feet, his eyes were big and bloodshot, and he looked more distressed than Lou Xi's parents.

The grief in those eyes was gradually covered by anger, Shi An turned his head to stare at the two of Lou, and said angrily: "You guys! You forced Lou to analyze all kinds of sufferings, and you are in vain as fathers-God has no eyes! "

As soon as these words came out, the two of the Lou family retorted tremblingly. Looking at Lou Xi's body, they finally silenced and stopped making noise, as if they finally believed that Lou Xi, who was lying there, was dead.

Suddenly one of the guards in black shouted: "Who!"

As he said that, he flew to the grass behind him, picked out a person and threw it in front of everyone. The person who was thrown down rolled around in embarrassment for a few times before getting up, with a panicked look on his face. He was dressed in student clothes, shaking his hands desperately in front of him. He said, muttering in his mouth.

"It's not me, it's not me, it's not me, I just pushed him, why did he die, it's impossible, it's impossible..."
