The Golden Hairpin

Feeling extremely weak, she stretched out her hand and yelled softly "Lord", and then she shed tears in an instant. He reached out to touch her, but his hand turned blood red in mid-air. She was stunned to discover that the person who was standing opposite her and reaching out was actually Yu Xuan. He opened his mouth and called "A Xian", with blood spurting out of his mouth, but before landing, he turned into thousands of jumping Agachenes and fish eggs. Those jumping red fishes condensed into a sharp blade in an instant, and pierced into the chest. It was Ewang Li Run. He pierced the dagger into his heart with one hand, while laughing wildly, while turning into the sky of fire. That was the fire he had ignited on Xiangluan Pavilion. It evaporated and distorted the entire night sky, making everything weird and very...

Huang Zixian was shocked and awakened suddenly, there was a bright light outside the window.

The tips under the pillow are still there, and the small fish in the crystal bottle are still there.

A new day has arrived, and there are countless mysteries waiting for her. Even if she was too tired to get up, she still had to face all this and couldn't steal peace.

She got up, took the pen and ink and wrote a letter, leaving the address of Zhou Ziqin's elder brother Qin's house, and asked the child servant at home to send it there.

When she finished freshening up for breakfast, Zhou Ziqin ran over quickly, sat opposite her, and stopped talking.

Huang Zixia filled him with a bowl of porridge and handed it to him. Zhou Ziqin looked at her with a bowl of porridge, and then hesitated to ask: "You wrote to me, are you saying... you want me to pay attention to Di Cui?"

Huang Zixia nodded and said: "I am very worried about her, I am afraid that someone will hurt her, and even more afraid that she will hurt herself."

Zhou Ziqin looked at her embarrassedly, hesitated for a moment, then said: "Dicui she..."

"What's wrong with her?" Huang Zixia was shocked and asked immediately.

"I didn't want to tell you, I'm afraid you will be sad... But yesterday, when I went to the Chengnan Yizhuang to pay homage to the second brother Zhang, I met Big Brother Zhang who came to recognize the corpse. He, his whole body collapsed, crying, brother Dead, father is dead, and even Di Cui is gone..."

Huang Zixia asked urgently: "Why are you missing?"

"That's... After Old Uncle Zhang secretly went out, Brother Zhang's brother-in-law and Di Cui went to search together, but they found the downstairs of the city, but Di Cui didn't know where they went... Anyway, they never came back." Zhou Ziqin He held his forehead and looked sad, "I went to inquire early in the morning, and Brother Zhang said, Di Cui has not come back..."

"I didn't come back..." Huang Zixian was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Have you ever been to the major government offices?"

After Di Cui's father committed the crime, the emperor personally ordered her to kill her. Although Dali Temple only posted one or two pictures perfunctorily and hung them at the gate of the city for a few days, after all, she was the main criminal of sea catching, but now she suddenly disappeared.

"No! I'll go and ask immediately." Zhou Ziqin said quickly.

"Remember to avoid Di Cui's identity, and first ask if there is an unaccompanied woman." Huang Zi Xia instructed him.

He nodded, then remembered another thing, looked around, lowered his voice and asked her: "Have you seen the prince lately?"

Huang Zixian hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said "Yes."

"Is the prince okay?" He asked quickly.

Huang Zixia said softly: "It's okay."

"It's okay? It's not good!" Zhou Ziqin interrupted her, with an anxious expression on his face, "Recently, there has been a lot of turmoil in the capital, saying that King Kui is going to... die!"

She gently pressed her lips and asked, "Why?"

"Do you remember the event of welcoming the Buddha's bones?"

She nodded.

"When the Buddha's bones were built to welcome the Buddha bones into Beijing, the prince strongly opposed it. Later, the number was reduced before implementation. People in Beijing said that it was because King Kui was possessed by evil spirits!"

"In the end, didn't we still build 72 seats along the way?"

"The people's legend says that one hundred and eight are enough to suppress the evil demons in the world, and seventy-two can only eliminate calamities and troubles. King Kui made a stigma and subtracted thirty-six in order to save his life!" Zhou Ziqin raised his hand and pointed outside the wall. , Said anxiously, "Now this rumor is intensifying, and it is spreading all over the streets! In addition to the death of King E and the death of Brother Zhang and his son yesterday, I heard that... there were a dozen or so hundreds of elderly people last night. The joint letter requested that the court no longer need to follow the law. In order to appease King E's spirit in the sky, he must quickly punish the evil spirits!"

Huang Zixian took a deep breath and asked slowly: "So...this co-branded book should have been sent to your majesty at this moment?"

"Maybe... I just don’t know what will happen to your Majesty in the end." Zhou Ziqin put his hands together and prayed, "I just hope that your Majesty will finally recite the merits of King Kui for many years. Don’t believe those bastards, or let the case be handed over to Dali Temple or The Criminal Ministry can only."

"I hope so." Huang Zixian murmured. In fact, she knew it was impossible. The emperor had long been murderous towards King Kui, and this letter was just added to the flames--even the reason why the group of people would write to the letter might have been arranged long ago. She shook her head, but only said, "Dali Temple, Criminal Ministry, who would dare to try this case? Cui Shangshu, or Wang Shangshu, who just took this hot potato?"

"Duke Duke, isn't he reviewing this case in the name of Zongzheng Temple? And you are helping him investigate this case, aren't you?"

"Zongzheng Temple is not the court's judicial office after all. At present, I am alone in investigating the case, and I have no help. It is difficult to carry out this case. Moreover, this case involves two princes. Where to start?"

"I'll help you! Let's... Let's start with the ink stripping method!" Zhou Ziqin was sitting in a dreadful manner, and said, "I went to block the door of Mr. Yi last time and forced him to talk about the ink stripping method. He didn't want to Teach me, I spent a whole day begging on his side, and he finally said that this is a secret he didn't teach, unless his disciples were willing to teach it."

"What happened later?" Huang Zixia knew that his stubborn skill was number one in the world, and there was absolutely nothing that could not be done.

Sure enough, he immediately approached her and said, "I immediately went to do the Six Ceremony Shushu, and then knelt down to worship the tea and kowtow to the teacher. I took out the secret method that afternoon!"

Huang Zixia didn't know whether to admire or despise, and finally she chose to bow her head and drink porridge silently: "Then why didn't you tell me before?"

When Zhou Ziqin heard her say this, his face was a little frustrated: "Don't mention it, the way to get it in the end is useless for that charm."

"You talk about that method?"

"That's it. To remove the cinnabar from the spell, you need to bake the cinnabar-stained paper around the fire. When the painting becomes hot, use a soft cloth dipped in white vinegar to absorb the paper while keeping it fumigated with a slow fire to avoid the paper. Too wet and rotten. If the thick paper is okay, the thin paper will be completely helpless. In order to completely **** the cinnabar from the thick paper without damaging the paper, it is generally necessary to stick it intermittently all day and night. After all the colors are removed, Then make tea indoors and steam it for a day to remove the vinegar smell from the paper."

Huang Zixia thought: "In other words, at least two days and one night?"

"Yes, but you told King Kui before that there were several times that charm changed color in less than half a day. It must be impossible to use this method." Zhou Ziqin held his head in annoyance.

"Moreover, King Kui's memory is amazing. If that spell is tossed in such a way, how could he not notice it?" Huang Zixian frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said, "Perhaps, we've been thinking the other way around."

"What's the opposite?" Zhou Ziqin asked quickly.

"Perhaps there is no need to erase the spell at all. In fact, there is a simpler way..." she said, frowning tightly, "It's just that I can't see the charm of King Kui now, for a while. , I can’t be sure of my guess.”

"Where is the charm of King Kui now?"

"It should still be in the palace, in the Yubing Pavilion. It's just that the people of King Kui are in the pavilion of Zongzheng Temple in Xiuzhengfang and cannot go back to the palace to get things."

Zhou Ziqin thought for a while, patted his head and said, "I took my box, quietly replaced King Kui's box, and then sent it to King Kui. Isn't that all right?"

Huang Zixia felt a little funny: "Why do you want to exchange it secretly with a box? Now that spell is no longer a problem, you ask someone to talk to King Kui and ask him to write you a note to the palace to fetch things. Wouldn't it be better?"

"Oh... that's true." Zhou Ziqin said to leave, immediately stood up and walked out, "It's settled, and I will send it to you when I get the charm."

Huang Zixia watched him run to the door with some helplessness. To this Zhou Ziqin who came and went like wind, she could only shout: "Be careful of everything!"

As soon as the words were spoken, she was suddenly stunned, there seemed to be something in her mind that made her think of something for a moment, but it was illusory, and it seemed that she couldn't grasp it.

She murmured and repeated Zhou Ziqin's words just now: "Take your own box and exchange for King Kui's box..."

She jumped up suddenly and yelled: "Zhou Ziqin!"

Zhou Ziqin had already walked outside the house, was startled when she heard her voice, and quickly turned back: "What's the matter?"

"You wait a minute," she said, pulling out the hairpin on her head and scratching it on the table. Zhou Ziqin Da was puzzled, knowing this was her habit, and she could only lean against the door, seeing her painting messy, but with very little strength, she couldn't leave any traces on the table. He didn't see the reason after watching for a long time, so he had to give up.

Huang Zixian had taken the hosta in his hand into the silver hairpin, stood up and said to him: "Let's go."

"Where to go?" Zhou Ziqin asked.

"Liang Ji Mu Zuopu, go find Master Sun."

In the first month of the first month, it was the off-season for Muzuopu, but Liang Ji still had a prosperous business. Many yards were filled with high-quality wood. Everyone chatted as they did it: "Whose family is this time? "

"It is the royal family of Langya who is going to marry a wife, that is, the cousin of the queen, the son of Wang Shangshu, and the right commander of the Yulin Army, Wang Yun. I heard that he was married to the former servant of the Criminal Ministry who was later transferred to the county guard in Shu. Jun's daughter."

Everyone nodded and admired: "Oh, it's a match made in heaven!"

Zhou Ziqin immediately turned his stunned gaze to Huang Zixian.
