Chapter Ninety-Seven

Wei Qian pondered for a moment, "It's up to you, but you have to understand one thing, after you go back, your family may not approve of your participation in this case." ”

Cui Ning hesitated, she wanted to go back to Chang'an just to follow him to learn the whole way, if the family prevented her from participating in solving the case, what was the point of going back? However, when he went back, there were no important clues here, and she was just a waste of time here.

"Fifth brother. Cui Ning looked at him with a grin, "Do me a favor." ”

Wei Qian saw through her ghost eyes at a glance, and said decisively, "No." ”

Cui Ning said, "You just have to pretend that I'm still here, and when I go back, I'll find a place to stay by myself, please." ”

Wei Qian looked at her expressionlessly, with a resolute expression.

"You brought me here, did you leave me alone?" Cui Ning decided to cheat, anyway, after going back.

Wei Qian, who can be called resourceful, knows what she has in mind at this moment, but she doesn't know how to deal with it.

Neither side was willing to back down, and in the end there was no negotiation.

Next.

It was still dark, and a figure crept into the stable.

The black horse at the end saw its master and kicked its hooves happily.

The man untied the horse's rope and was about to lead the horse out, when he saw a small head poking its head out coldly, grinning and revealing a row of white teeth. ”

The thin figure jumped out, still carrying a big burden.

Wei Qian sighed, "Untie the horse." ”

Cui Ning happily untied a jujube red horse, and said worriedly. "But I'm not very good at horseback riding. ”

Wei Qian ignored her question, "Did you leave a letter for Chang Geng?"

"Stay!" Cui Ning said proudly, "I said to block you in the stable, if he can't find me at dawn, even if you agree to take me away, I won't leave without permission." ”

In the dim light, he couldn't see the face clearly at all, but Wei Qian felt that Cui Ning's tail was about to rise to the sky, and he looked like he was "begging for praise".

"Let's go. He said lightly.

Cui Ning led the horse out with him. She doesn't know how to ride a horse, but she gets along well with the horses, and she doesn't have a problem leading them.

Out of the gate. Wei Qian tied all his baggage to the jujube red horse. He picked her up and put her on the back of the black horse, and then turned over on the horse.

"Fifth brother has a lot of strength!" Cui Ning exclaimed.

That tone was exactly the same as saying "Fifth brother, you're so white" that day, Wei Qian felt that his ears were burning again.

Cui Ning stayed in the stable for most of the night. The body was full of cold. After Wei Qian got on the horse. She felt as if she was wrapped in a covered quilt, and she was very comfortable.

The two horses went out of the city one after the other.

The black horse galloped like the wind like two people, and Cui Ning felt very good at first. But when she arrived at a post station, she was not good when she got off the horse! Everything she could see was upside down, and she was dizzy and shaky.

After resting for two hours, I changed to a red horse and went on the road.

Just tossing all the way, Cui Ning gradually got used to it, and after arriving in Chang'an, he trotted all the way everywhere, and he was very disgusted that he was not as fast as a horse.

In Lotte Curie, Cui Ning sat cross-legged in Wei Qian's study drinking tea, excited for going to Hun Tianjian next.

But the happy time is always so short, and after less than an hour of rest, a little girl came over to report, "Lang Jun, someone from the Cui family has come to pick up Cui Erniang." ”

Cui Ning froze for a long time, and turned his head to look at Wei Qian, his face full of heartache after being betrayed.

Wei Qian slowly took a sip of tea before he spoke, "Xingzhou is the territory of the Cui clan in Qinghe, do you think Lord Cui will not know your whereabouts?"

"You already knew. Cui Ning lay down on the Hu bed, all the strength in her body was drained, "I can finally understand the feeling that Mr. is more sad than dead." ”

"Go home. Wei Qian put down the teacup, straightened his clothes, and got up to send her.

Cui Ning lay like a mess of mud, motionless.

"If you're willing to rest here, that's fine. Wei Qian was not reluctant.

Cui Ning got up and hugged his thighs with a grunt, "I'm not leaving! You have to find a way, otherwise I'll hold your legs and won't let go!"

"You go home first, and then go back to the official office after lunch to report on your work. Wei Qian said.

Cui Ning raised her head, raised her eyebrows and looked at him for a while, and asked Youyou, "This must have a deep meaning, right?"

"Hmm. Wei Qian's jaw.

Cui Ning immediately jumped up and lifted his burden, "Here is the local product I brought to my family, I'm leaving!

She hummed a little song all the way out of the backyard.

Qingxin Qinglu saw her from afar, and happily greeted her to help her carry the burden.

Back at home, Cui Ning first went to see the Ling family with gifts, just in time for Cui Daoyu Muxiu, and the family sat together and chatted.

Cui Ning brought something for everyone, and even Qingxin Qinglu was not left behind.

Ling looked at her with teary eyes, and said "thin" and "dark".

After lunch, Cui Ning said that she was going to the official office to report on her work, and there was no one at home to stop her.

Cui Ning followed to Xingzhou as a clerk, just to record, what should have been recorded has already been recorded, and it is Wei Qian's work report to be reported, and it is not a big deal for her. So she rushed to the official office and went directly to Wei Qian.

In fact, this case is within the scope of Xingzhou, and if the case is not closed for one day, Wei Qian's task will not be completed, and he will only come back this time to collect evidence.

It is precisely because of this that he was able to go to the scene of the crime to check it out.

The huge Heavenly Prison seemed to be empty, and it seemed very depressed, and the towering and exquisite pavilions were silently telling the power it once had.

It was this Hun Tianling who took them to the Stargazing Tower, and he happened to be from the Xingzhou Chen family, named Chen Changshou, about forty years old, short and thin, talking and doing things very slowly, walking to the iron gate in the middle of the Yongdao Gate of the Stargazing Tower, a total of more than 100 steps, he walked half a cup of tea time.

Cui Ning and Wei Qian had no choice but to follow slowly.

Chen Changshou hung the lantern in his hand on the wall on one side and said slowly, "It's here." ”

The light shines in from the other end of the road, and it is not clear the intricate patterns carved on the iron gate.

"The keys to the two doors on this stargazing platform were stolen after Si Yanling's death, and now I think about it, they were stolen by Si Shi. Chen Changshou said slowly, reaching out to open the iron door, "Since the incident, the door has been unlocked. ”

Wei Qian took down the lantern hanging on the wall and went in first, "Si Yanling died in this corridor?"

Chen Changshou seemed to think for a long time before he said "um".

At this time, Cui Ning had already looked around through the iron gate, the walls were uneven stones, like a hewn cave, and dark brown blood stains could be seen on it, as if it had seeped into the stone.

The three of them walked out of the corridor and came to the stargazing platform.

The location of the Hun Tianjian is relatively remote, but the height of the stargazing platform can almost see the entire Daming Palace.

The overall shape of the table is square, so that you can see the whole sky, there is no obstruction on it.

Wei Qian looked at the high platform opposite, "Why are there houses on the stargazing platform over there?"

Half of the other platform was built with a house.

Chen Changshou said slowly, "This side has been sealed and has become the tomb of Si Yanling, where the dead are connected to the hexagram of the living, and it is easy to cause disaster." That was to change the feng shui, and it was built later. ”

The structure of the observatory is very simple, it is a high stone platform, and there are corridors leading up on both sides, and it takes a long time to see it all.

The three of them returned to the place where Si Yanling died.

"Master Chen, when Si Yanling died, you were also in the Heavenly Prison, right?" Wei Qian asked.

Chen Changshou said, "Yes." ”

Wei Qian then asked, "Where is the handwriting?"

Chen Changshou thought for a while and pointed to a location, "It's about here, it's too long ago, I can't remember the exact location." ”

Cui Ning has good hearing, and always feels that this corridor is full of rustling sounds, as well as various sounds of Si Xi Suosuo, which makes people shudder.

She identified the direction of the sound, and found a place with the loudest noise to take a closer look, because the lantern was in Wei Qian's hand, she couldn't see it clearly, so she might as well kick a stone under her feet, and something suddenly came out of it, which made her scream in fright.

Wei Qian immediately took a lantern and shone it over, and Cui Ning saw a group of rats fleeing quickly, and breathed a sigh of relief, "It turned out to be mice." ”

Wei Qian paused, handed the lantern to Cui Ning, and leaned over to check the rat nest.

The smell of decay came from the stone cave, and Cui Ning also squatted down, carrying a lantern to shine inside.

Wei Qian took out a sheepskin glove and put it on, leaned in and groped for it, and for a moment, pulled out a few rags.

"Go find someone to come over, I'm afraid Si Yanling is not the only one who died here. Wei Qian said to Cui Ning. (To be continued......)

ps: Shoulder and neck problems are strict, I went to the masseur today, and I was given some blood, and I feel very relaxed. The blood that came out was black and purple. Sorry for not keeping the promise to make up for the update. I still had to sleep. R1292
