He did not care what the two people thought. He took out the tortoise shell and started to calculate, estimating in his mind how long it would take for the people from the Ministry of Justice to come to him after his apprentice arrived there.
Li Le just confirmed again: "Do you really want to do business?"
The old man nodded and said, "Of course."
Li Lezhi: “Okay.”
Li Le just remembered that he didn't seem to have received the money yet, so he put down the tortoise shell and looked at the old man and said, "One hundred taels for one divination."
When the one hundred taels came out, the girl was furious and said dissatisfiedly: "What kind of fortune-telling costs one hundred taels? Who do you think you are..."
Before he could finish the rest of his words, the old man covered his mouth and said, "Forgive me, Taoist priest, this is a bit too much money. Please wait for me for a moment."
The old man took the girl away, but they didn't go far. Li Le could still see them and heard the old man say to the girl, "Be careful, don't expose yourself. Which maid is like you?"
The girl said, "I just can't help but feel angry. What kind of person is this? He actually wants a hundred taels. I think he is asking for a lot of money. You and I together have less than a hundred taels of annual salary. If I put it all in, I don't know if it can be reimbursed."
Old man: "Now that we have come to this point, can we still back down?"
Girl: “So you have money?”
Old man: “…”
The two men stopped talking.
Probably because they have no money, Li Le thought. Perhaps they didn't expect that he had sharp ears and heard everything they said.
Li Le just poured himself a cup of tea and sat there quietly watching the two of them.
Not long after, two people came in again. The old man was embarrassed and said, "Master, I am not well off. Can you ask for less money?"
"..." Li Le was silent for a few seconds, then asked, "How much money can you give?"
"Ten taels of silver?" When he said ten taels of silver, the old man felt a pain in his heart and couldn't help but frown twice.
"Forget it," Li Le just put away the tortoise shell and pretended that he was not going to give up.
Seeing this, the old man quickly held his hand and asked, "Twenty taels of silver?"
Li Lezhi: “…”
"Thirty taels?"
“…”
The old man gritted his teeth and shouted, "Forty taels, no more."
"Um."
Realizing that Li Le had just let go, the old man let go and looked at the girl standing next to him. The girl looked at him in surprise, and finally reluctantly whispered in his ear: "Old ghost, we don't even have forty taels of silver, we didn't bring that much money."
The old man: "..." He turned around and smiled at Li Le, then touched his body everywhere, and then added the silver from the girl to make a total of twenty taels.
The old man said embarrassedly: "Master, I left in a hurry this time and only brought 20 taels of silver. Can you calculate it for us first and give you the rest of the money tomorrow?"
Looking at the scattered silver coins on the table, Li Le only guessed whether the people from the Ministry of Justice had arrived, and said, "Since you are sincere, I will do the math for you."
"Okay," the old man nodded hurriedly with a happy look on his face. It's done.
Looking back on all these twists and turns, it was really not easy.
Li Le just pretended to use the tortoise shell to calculate. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Li Le just looked up.
The old man and the girl also heard it. They watched Li Le get up to open the door. They looked at the tortoise shell on the table and wanted to reach out to keep him, but they had no excuse.
Old Man
He lowered his voice. "This matter has been full of twists and turns.
I always feel like something bad is going to happen.”
Girl: “You think too much, don’t you?”
She was comforting the old man,
Let them rest assured,
Suddenly I saw someone breaking into the yard.
The man was wearing the familiar official uniform. The girl almost couldn't recover after hearing it in one breath. Then, she turned around and said to the old man with gritted teeth, "Your sense is not effective normally, but it is effective now."
As a person from the Dali Temple, seeing the Ministry of Justice is like seeing a rival. What's more, he was caught by the people from the Ministry of Justice and was arrested. It would be too embarrassing if they were recognized as being from the Dali Temple.
I really want to find a place to hide.
But neither of them thought that their identities had already been exposed. They just thought that people from the Ministry of Justice came to visit the Taoist priest's home. It was not until they were surrounded that they noticed something strange.
I heard the Taoist saying, "They are from the Dali Temple. They came to me to discuss how to do business. I remember there is a law that says officials cannot compete with the people for profits."
"Wait, we are not," the old man and the girl said hurriedly. If they were accused of competing with the people for profit, they would lose their heads. They could never admit to such a thing.
This Taoist actually knew that they were from the Dali Temple?
Were they already exposed, or did this Taoist calculate it? Impossible, this Taoist had just taken out the tortoise shell, how could he have calculated their identities?
Is it a scam to them?
The old man thought of this and said, "Gentlemen, you are mistaken. We are not from the Dali Temple. I am just a peddler doing business."
Li Le just said: "Business vendors don't know me. If you are really doing business, why didn't you refute me when I said something about Censor Qiu?"
Old man: "I, I was..." He couldn't explain himself even if he had a mouth. What's more, the two of them were really from the Dali Temple. How could he prove that he was not? The old man couldn't think of a way, so he looked at the girl, hoping she could think of a way.
Girl: "We wanted to deny it, but you didn't give us a chance."
Li Lezhi: "Isn't she your maid? Who is the one in charge between the two of you?" Li Lezhi turned his head and said to the head of the Ministry of Justice: "Even if they are not from the Dali Temple, their identities are very suspicious."
The squad leader nodded and was about to take the two back to the Ministry of Justice when he heard a voice coming from outside. The person said, "No need."
Everyone looked back and saw a young man in gorgeous clothes walking in with his hands behind his back. Everyone present, except Li Lezhi, recognized this man. It was none other than the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple - Wang Ren.
Wang Ren simply nodded towards Li Le. "I am Wang Ren, nice to meet you, Taoist Li."
Li Le only calculated secretly, and when he learned that the person in front of him was the Chief Justice of Dali Temple, he was surprised. He was just a small Taoist priest. It was okay for people from Dali Temple to come to him for fortune-telling, but why would the Chief Justice of Dali Temple come to him?
"Why is Lord Wang here?" Li Le just asked.
Wang Ren was surprised, "Master Li knows me?"
“I didn’t know him before.”
What he meant was that now we know each other. Wang Ren also heard it. He looked at Li Lezhi and saw that he was calm and indifferent, not like an ordinary Taoist.
The implication of what Taoist Priest Li said just now seems to be that he didn't know him before. Well, Taoist Priest Li has only been in the capital for three or five days, so it is normal that he doesn't know him. He, Wang Ren, is not so famous that one can know who he is just by hearing his name.
But looking at this Taoist priest, he seemed to know his identity.
Wang Ren lowered his eyes and looked at the clothes he was wearing. He was not wearing official uniform and had changed into another one on purpose. This Taoist Master Li should not know his identity.
He must have seen it wrong just now.
How could this Taoist priest know that he was the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple? I never saw him have the opportunity to use the tortoise shell to tell fortunes. Besides, even if he did, how could he figure out his identity so quickly?
Wang Ren was relieved and said, "Master Li knows that I am the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple?"
After hearing this, everyone in the Ministry of Justice lowered their heads silently. Although they didn't know what the Supreme Court Minister was thinking, it was not something they could interfere with.
The old man and the girl also turned their heads to look aside. They really didn't expect that they were almost caught, and it was too embarrassing to trouble the adults to rescue them.
It was so embarrassing that even the adults had to pretend to be the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple.
Li Le just said: "I don't know."
As for the fact that the Dali Temple Minister said that he was a Shaoqing, Li Le just suspected that he had miscalculated. After all, there was only one character difference between Shaoqing and Qing, and given this man's age, it would be normal for him to be a Shaoqing of the Dali Temple.
"Then what does Taoist Priest Li think I am? [(.)]#?#???"
Wang Ren smiled.
Li Lezhi was silent for a moment before he said, "I calculated that you were the Dali Temple Minister, but I guess I was wrong."
A light sentence fell into everyone's ears, and then exploded with a "boom". Everyone looked at Li Lezhi in astonishment.
No one expected that Taoist Li actually figured out Wang Ren's identity.
The people from the Ministry of Justice couldn't believe it, the old man and the girl couldn't believe it, and Wang Ren, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, was also a little stunned.
The people in the Ministry of Justice silently gave Taoist Li a thumbs up. He was worthy of being a Taoist priest in the Ministry of Justice. His calculations were so accurate and powerful.
Even when he didn't know Lord Wang, he was able to figure out Lord Wang's identity. I don't know how Taoist Li did it, and I haven't seen Taoist Li use tortoise shell. Did Taoist Li know Lord Wang before?
It's impossible?
They had rarely seen Wang Ren, and even though they lived in the capital and had been officials for so many years, they had only had the opportunity to deal with him once or twice and had seen Lord Wang's face.
Taoist Priest Li has only been in the capital for a few days, so he has definitely not seen Lord Wang's face, so was this really calculated by Taoist Priest Li?
It's so bizarre.
Is there really a Taoist priest who can do this?
He can know the other person's identity with just one encounter. This ability is not something that ordinary Taoists can master.
So, their Ministry of Justice invited back an expert?
They originally thought that Taoist Li was young and would have some abilities, but they didn't expect that they were blind to his talent.
After this, with Taoist Li in their hands, can't their Ministry of Justice act with impunity?
Wang Ren did not expect that he just came to see how capable the Taoist priest protected by Old Yang was. Poor him, he was still pretending in front of the Taoist priest. Who would have thought that his identity was discovered by the other party at a glance.
The other party just pretended not to know.
He even leaned over again and passed the message to the other party. No wonder the other party would reveal his identity in one sentence. For these capable Taoists, it is common for them to be ignorant of worldly affairs by studying Taoism all the time. They are all outspoken.
He admitted that this Taoist priest had some skills, but now he was more curious about how this Taoist priest Li did it and why he could know his identity after meeting him. Could it be that he saw the flaws in himself?
As for his identity, Li Le only figured it out
Wang Ren still had some doubts in his heart about this matter. He had met many Taoists in his life, including Xuan Yangzi.
?Want to read Feng Chui Lin An's "I am Ordinary but Worshipped as a National Master"? Please remember the domain name [(.)]
There has never been a Taoist priest like Li Lezhi, who is different from others and subverts his cognition. ?
*?
Li Le just saw that they were all looking at him, still with a look of astonishment, thinking that he just made a mistake in the divination, so why should he make such a fuss? ?
It is normal for people to make mistakes and make a wrong calculation. Who can guarantee that every calculation is correct? He is not a national master, but just an ordinary Taoist priest. Is it possible that the Taoist priests in this world have never made mistakes?
Li Le was just confused and puzzled.
Li Le just said: "Perhaps I miscalculated their identities. Sorry for bothering you to make the trip."
The head of the Criminal Department laughed dryly and nodded repeatedly: "No trouble, no trouble."
Taoist Priest Li handed them the steps. The Chief Justice of Dali Temple was also here, so they couldn't take the person away anyway. Instead, Taoist Priest Li gave them a step so that they could leave smoothly.
I couldn't help but feel grateful to Master Li.
Before the old man and the girl left, they glanced at Li Le. They still hadn't figured out whether this Taoist had any ability. Now they had tested him out. Had they completed their mission?
Only Wang Ren and Li Le were left in the hall.
Wang Ren saw that everyone had left, so he found a random place to sit down and asked, "Master Li is really capable. He can even calculate this. I wonder how he calculated it? I didn't see him using tortoise shells or anything else. Did he calculate it with his bare hands?"
Before Li Lezhi could say anything, Wang Ren said, "That shouldn't be the case. Master Li, you are not the one who can calculate with your bare hands."
Li Lezhi, who could only calculate with his bare hands, felt that he was being implicated. He said calmly, "I wonder what kind of Taoist priest I am in Lord Wang's eyes, that I can use tortoise shells?"
"...It's hard to say," Wang Ren couldn't explain it clearly. Li Le only gave him the feeling that he didn't look like a young Taoist priest. Instead, he was somewhat similar to the Taoist priests in the Worship Hall. He had the temperament of a great Taoist master, but... the Taoist priests in the Worship Hall were all elderly. Wang Ren thought he was blind to see that a young Taoist priest looked like a master who had practiced for many years.
Li Lezhi couldn't understand why the Dali Temple Shaoqing came to his house. He silently calculated and figured out that the other party wanted to test his ability.
Li Lezhi: …
These days, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple is quite idle. Or is it that this Shaoqing came here because of Su Pingshi? He just touched a judge in the Dali Temple, so he hurried over? Could it be that Su Pingshi is this Shaoqing's man?
Li Le just counted and found out that it was not.
He looked at the other party suspiciously and asked, "My lord, are you trying to test my ability? Have you found out?"
Wang Renzheng was moving the lid of the teapot on the table. When he heard this question, he was surprised. "You know all this?"
He saw it with his own eyes. The Taoist didn't even use the tortoise shell on the table. Could he read minds? Or was he a monster? Otherwise, how could he know what he was thinking without having to calculate?
Wang Ren was frightened and didn't dare to stay here alone for long. If he stayed any longer, the other party might go crazy and take his life. That would be a huge loss for him.
"Goodbye."
Wang Ren left in a hurry.
Li Le just looked at the other person's departing back, totally confused. He had no idea that the other person had imagined him as a human-eating demon who had transformed into a human.
Li Le just looked at the table
The tortoise shell on the
Thinking of the Dali Temple's waves of temptations?
Seems to want to test his true level??1?? ?? ???,
What did Wang Ren say earlier?
It still left a mark on his heart.
It’s not enough to just use your hands to calculate. Should you change your name and go to a Taoist temple for further study?
Before Li Lezhi had time to find a Taoist temple to implement his idea, he was visited by Gongsun Miaoran.
Looking at the familiar person at the door, Li Le only saw that the scenery outside was still the capital. He looked at the other person in confusion and asked, "Do you have something to talk to me about?"
When Gongsun Miaoran saw Li Lezhi, he was excited. When Li Lezhi asked him about it, he had to suppress his emotions and said, "I came to see the Taoist priest this time to give him a gift."
He lifted the object in his hand.
After seeing this, Li Le had no choice but to let someone in first, and then asked: "Why are you giving me a gift?"
Gongsun Miaoran put the things in his hand on the table, then turned around and said, "Master, do you still remember the fortune you told me last time? Because of your fortune, I survived the disaster safely."
Li Lezhi: “…”
It turned out that it was because of this matter. This matter was not a disaster for this person, and no matter what choice he made, it would not be bad for him.
But judging from its appearance, it seems to have taken the better path.
Li Le just said: "It's all your choice. I didn't help you with anything."
Gongsun Miaoran listened.
I understood in my heart that Taoist Li really is a person who does not care about false reputation. No wonder someone pretended to be him when Taoist Li did not stand up.
In the mind of Taoist Priest Li, this matter was nothing but a trivial matter. The flood in Qingzhou was such a serious matter, but Taoist Priest Li actually said that everything was his choice. Could it be that this was also within Taoist Priest Li's expectations?
Because Taoist Li calculated the final outcome and knew that he would not conceal the matter and abandon the people of Qingzhou, he was willing to give him the right to choose.
And he did not let Master Li down.
