Soon, the captured "giant thieves" confessed one after another, it turned out that they were just water bandits on the Wei River who specialized in robbing passing merchants, and petty fights were commonplace, but it was the first time that such an astonishing act of robbing the powerful and wealthy in Chang'an City had been encountered. At the same time, the key behind the scenes is revealed, and the person who paid to buy and arrange for them to enter the city is a beardless man.

There are only two kinds of people without beards in Chang'an City, one is a young man who has not yet reached adulthood and the other is a eunuch in the palace. Obviously, it is impossible for a young man who can negotiate with the water bandits to be a young man who is not deeply involved in the world, so there is only one last possibility left, and it should be the eunuchs in the palace who buy these people to pretend to be "giant thieves". Qin Jin personally inquired about the specific characteristics of the eunuchs who negotiated with him.

But the leaders went back and forth with only white faces, thin bodies, and about fifty or sixty years old, and nothing else. However, the eunuchs with this characteristic are not one thousand in the royal forbidden gardens such as Xingqing Palace and Daming Palace, but also eight hundred, and they want to confirm them one by one and find a needle in a haystack.

What's more, Qin Jin still has an intuition in his heart that can't be said explicitly, that is, this incident may have been deliberately planned by some people. As for the specific purpose, it is unknown for the time being, but at least one thing Qin Jin is certain, that is, this incident is definitely not aimed at the Shenwu Army or himself.

He had long been tired of the intrigue in Chang'an City, and Qin Jin couldn't wait to fly out of this disgusting quagmire immediately, so he already secretly had a plan in his heart, and this matter would stop at the point, and he would never be deeply entangled. Otherwise, it will not help in the current situation, and maybe it will make yourself and the Shenwu Army fall into the mud again, and the gains will outweigh the losses.

In a moment's effort, Qin Jin's mind had already turned dozens or even hundreds of thoughts, and Jing Zhao Yin Wang Shou beside him was full of surprise and inexplicable, these "giant thieves" were either full of nonsense or ......

Another possibility he didn't dare to think of, but the intuition faintly revealed in his heart made him smell danger. A deep sense of remorse rose up and lingered in his mind.

Of course, Wang Shou was not stupid, and immediately realized that this might be the immortals in Chang'an City fighting with each other again, he was just a two-headed angry Jing Zhaoyin, and there was no big tree behind him to rely on, if he rashly got involved in the battle, wouldn't he crash headlong into the door of life and death? However, he has now stepped into the door with one foot, and it is not easy to take it back.

Looking at the prisoner who fell to his knees, Wang Shou wanted to cry without tears, and had the heart to ask Qin Jin for advice, but he was undecided for a while, after all, at the time of the mutiny, he chose to ride the wall and watch, and the friendship accumulated before had long been written off.

Therefore, Wang Shou can only swallow these self-inflicted bitter fruits, and can only take one step at a time.

"Da Yin, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time, please return to Jingzhao Mansion, dispatch troops, and search for the whole city. ”

Now that he has a glimpse of the implicit cattiness in this incident, Qin Jin does not plan to get involved in it, and the arrest of Yunyun that he said before will naturally stop counting, and now he persuades Wang Shou to return to Jingzhao Mansion to sit in town, which is a euphemistic attitude.

Although Wang Shou had been mentally prepared, there was still a chill in his heart, and Qin Jin really stood by and watched. But when he changed his mind, he was relieved, when he was in trouble, didn't his own family also watch from the wall? How could Qin Jin take the risk for him and take the blame for him under the premise that he was not profitable?

"What the envoy said is very true, please!"

The group returned to Jingzhao Mansion at a gallop, and Qin Jin came to find Wang Shou with the intention of wooing him, but looking at this situation, he hoped to be in vain. If you rashly follow Wang Shou and get involved in the open and secret battles of some people, it may be more than worth the loss for the Shenwu Army.

After more than half a year of ups and downs, Qin Jin has seen through, there is no right or wrong in this battle in Chang'an City, only success and failure, since he has already planned to leave this quagmire, there is no need to step in. As for how Wang Shou will deal with it and whether he can get out safely, it depends on his luck and creation.

After parting ways with Wang Shou, Qin Jin was a little distracted, and he wanted to return to Shengyefang's home to see, since the mutiny, he had not returned home once, only Li Gou'er and the old family went back and forth to the military camp and the mansion to deliver news. Moreover, there are two beauties with different personalities in the house, and when he thinks of this, he feels as if a fire has risen in his belly.

However, just after Kaihuafang, Qin Jin changed his mind again and changed his route to the west towards Feng'en Temple.

There is a person living in Feng'en Temple that Qin Jin has always wanted to see, that is, Chen Qianli, who has followed him since Xin'an, although Chen Qianli stabbed him in the back during the mutiny, he did not hold grudges, but felt a little guilty.

Qin Jin knew that Chen Qianli was a person with a strong plot of loyalty to the monarch in his bones, the Son of Heaven was faint, and the Tang Dynasty Mansion was about to fall, which was also one of the key factors for him to sneak attack Chen Xuanli at a critical moment, and assisting the crown prince to ascend the throne was a good time to sweep away the chaotic political situation, but for some reason there were various misunderstandings in the middle, which led to the two sides turning against each other.

Thinking of this, Qin Jin smiled bitterly, maybe even he couldn't figure out who he wanted to protect and who he wanted to assist. After all, he is used to being free in his bones, so why should he find a master to offer on his head? It is precisely because of this that Qin Jin's thinking is very different from that of the time, and the difference in thinking will inevitably have many manifestations in words and deeds.

It may be this kind of inside-out performance that will cause people to misunderstand, or this is not a misunderstanding in the first place.

The war horse galloped, but Qin Jin, who was sitting on the horse, suddenly felt that the world was quiet, and this sudden thought made him break out in a cold sweat. In the era of the supremacy of monarchy, is it not the way to take trouble when there is a kind of unruly atmosphere leaking from the side from time to time?

Maybe it's time to rein, but hopefully it's not too late.

About a quarter of an hour later, Qin Jin rushed to Feng'en Temple with his entourage. Unlike Anguo Temple, where the crown prince Li Heng was placed under house arrest, there were no heavy guards here, not even a single official from the government. After knocking on the door, the door slowly opened, and a small novice flashed out.

"Ah Buddha Mita, I don't know what the donor is doing?"

"Take the liberty of disturbing, there is an official living in your temple, surnamed Chen. ”

Qin Jin greeted him, and then directly explained his intentions. The little novice immediately replied:

"There is indeed a benefactor surnamed Chen living in the temple, whose name is thousands of miles away. ”

I followed the little novice into the temple, and the place where I could see was mottled and dilapidated, as if no one had taken care of it for more than ten years. Qin Jin was secretly surprised in his heart, the temples and dojos he saw in Chang'an City were either magnificent or secluded, showing the style of the Tang Dynasty, but it was unthinkable that there were still places where they were defeated.

When he came to the Zen courtyard where Chen Qianli was, Qin Jin was even more embarrassed, the two wooden doors hesitated and the vermilion paint had fallen off for a long time, and most of them had decayed, and even if they were closed, there was still a one-foot-wide slit in the middle......

Seeing that Chen Qianli was arranged by the imperial court to recuperate here, it shows the embarrassment of his situation.

But fortunately, Chen Qianli chose the right side at the last moment, and Chen Xuanli, the general of Longwu, welcomed the Son of Heaven into the city, and finally offset the merits and demerits and was not held responsible. But in any case, in the context of this moment, he has become a forgotten group of people, and unless there is a miracle, he will never think about turning over.

Qin Jin came to this era, and he has never felt guilty for anyone, only this Chen Qianli, he has today, and he has more or less a certain responsibility.

"Master Chen, there is an old man who has come to visit. ”

Xiao Shami knocked on the door twice, and without waiting for a response from inside, he pushed the door directly and entered.

Qin Jin felt sorry in his heart, even the novices in this Feng'en Temple were so rude to Chen Qianli. If Chen Qianli was still in the post of commander of the Longwu Army, I don't know how many quality officials would stutter behind his ass and shake their heads and tails. When I entered the house, the light immediately dimmed, and a smell of mold filled my nose.

I saw a couch against the wall on the east side, and Chen Qianli was lying on it with his back rushed out, covered with a quilt that could not be seen in his true colors. There was also a long case in front of the bed that was missing, and there were two pottery bowls placed on it, and Qin Jin only saw clearly after approaching that there was still half a bowl of corn left in one of the pottery bowls.

"Master Chen, distinguished guests come to visit ......"

The little novice saw that Chen Qianli was still lying with his head rushing and did not react, and his tone was already very unkind. Even the monks knew the height of their eyebrows, and Qin Jin's clothing and entourage all showed that he was a nobleman with a prominent status, and Xiao Shami's attitude towards him was naturally respectful. And Chen Qianli is just an idler living in the temple at this time, and his temper is annoying to everyone, so of course he will report it from time to time.

Qin Jin waved his hand and retreated from the little novice who had some power.

"I'm coming!"

As soon as he said a word, his voice trembled a little. Chen Qianli, who had been motionless, suddenly trembled, his back trembled twice, and finally turned his head slowly after a while.

However, after half a month, Chen Qianli's thin cheeks were sunken, there was no trace of blood on his face, and his hair was unkempt together, looking embarrassed and haggard.

"Is that you?"

At this moment, tears overflowed from Chen Qianli's sunken eyes.

The brothers met again after turning against each other, and it was in this dilapidated monastery.

"How do they treat you like that?"

Qin Jin's questioning was very difficult, how could he have thought that Chen Qianli would be reduced to such a thing.

Hearing Qin Jin's question, Chen Qianli smiled.

"There is food and shelter, come and go freely, what more can the husband ask for?"

One sentence expresses his state of mind at this time, compared to those officials who made the wrong choice of sides in the mutiny, and were imprisoned, or even suffered by the whole family, this bit of suffering in front of him is really nothing.

Qin Jin was about to speak, when suddenly a soldier arrived in a hurry and came to his side and whispered:

"Envoy, the saint has been summoned to see him, and he will enter the palace immediately!"

This made his heart move immediately, and the Son of Heaven suddenly summoned him at this time, could there be another big change?
