The emperor finally handed the man in black over to Dali Temple for interrogation. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Under Meng Bishun's interrogation, the man in black finally confessed, but the result of this confession was shocking.

The behind-the-scenes commander of the Mid-Autumn Festival bloody Baihualou turned out to be the twelve princes Zhao Jingheng!

In the imperial study, the emperor's face was so gloomy that he could drip water.

Wang De, the eunuch standing aside, screamed and interrupted Meng Bishun, who was talking.

"Bold!." He shouted, "How dare you speak without any evidence......

"Your Majesty, the ministers don't dare to say anything." Meng Bishun immediately knelt on the ground, "According to the man in black, the real purpose of the bloodbath in Baihualou was to kill the sixth prince Zhao Jingsheng, but unfortunately the emperor was also in Baihualou that night......"

There are not many people in the imperial study, this is not the last dynasty, not all the ministers are there, only a few important ministers are here, the emperor urgently summoned them over, and guessed that it might be Baihualou, but I didn't expect to hear such shocking news.

Hearing Meng Bishun's words, the ministers next to him fell silent.

On weekdays, Zhao Jingheng is indeed arrogant and has a bad attitude, and now he is doing such a heartbreaking thing, it must be an unforgivable sin.

"The twelve princes are disobedient, please punish the emperor heavily!" A minister spoke.

At the same time, different voices are heard.

"Your Majesty, this matter has not yet been clarified, and you must not wronged the twelve princes."

Immediately, someone retorted.

"The man in black has already told the truth, how can he be wronged? The Twelve Princes are spoiled by you people! ”

"You talk nonsense!"

……

The emperor, who was sitting in a high position, suddenly shouted, "Shut up! ”

They say that Zhao Jingheng is spoiled, doesn't it mean that he spoiled Zhao Jingheng? !

The emperor's face was gloomy, "Meng Bishun, what evidence do you have?!" ”

Meng Bishun said, "Back to the emperor, according to the man in black, they once had an agreement, and after the matter is completed, they will meet in a broken temple on the outskirts of the city, and someone will pay them heavily." ”

"When?" The Emperor asked.

"Tonight."

Tonight! The emperor's eyes gradually became gloomy, and he wanted to see if the son he raised was really the murderer of this bloody Baihualou!

Due to the importance of the matter, all the ministers who knew about this matter were locked up in the palace and were not allowed to take another half step out of the imperial study, including Song Yu.

………………

After Qiu Ci came back from Baihualou, he didn't go out for three days.

Of course, He Qiuxue was even more serious, she fell ill after she came back, and she couldn't land on the bed for several days.

"How is Sister Xue'er?" The old lady was very worried, "If something like this happens, I'm afraid it will frighten them." ”

Miss Qianjin, who stays at home on weekdays, will be scared to death if anyone encounters this incident.

"Do you want to find some mages to come back and exorcise evil spirits?" The old lady asked again.

He Changming comforted her, "Don't worry too much, the doctors all said that it was just the wind and cold entering the body, and if you were frightened, you would not be able to get up for a while, and you would just take medicine for two more days." ”

The old lady was still a little worried, "It's been a few days, and Sister Xue is still lying like this." She said and remembered Qiu Ci again, although Qiu Ci didn't go out for three days after returning home, but there was no delay in eating and drinking.

"It's still Sister Yuan's peace of mind." She said, "Sure enough, it is the concubine of my Hou Mansion, and her courage and bearing are greater than ordinary people." ”

He Changming smiled slightly, he was very happy to hear the old lady's praise.

………………

"It's weird." After Qiu Ci came back, she has been thinking about what happened in Baihualou during the Mid-Autumn Festival, strange is weird, but she can't tell where the weird is.

From the time she was attacked, there was something unspeakably strange about it.

Was the man in black sent by Ning Yanyi to kill her, or was it a coincidence? She really couldn't tell, and she couldn't think clearly.

What is the origin of the Man in Black? Why she came, she thought about it for three days after she came back, but she still didn't come to a conclusion.

And during this time, Song Yu did not come to her.

He must be busy, busy catching assassins, busy protecting the emperor, and busy explaining to the emperor.

But today, she unexpectedly received a letter from Song Yu.

It is said to be a letter, but it is actually just a note, and the note is very short, with only a few numbers.

"It's cold, rest early."

The words are very simple, and the meaning is very simple, that is, the weather is getting colder, let her rest early.

At the end of August, the weather in Kyoto did start to get cooler, especially in the past few days, and when the night came, it was like rain and fog, and they were scattered in the air.

But Qiu Ci felt that Song Yu's meaning was more than just literal.

How could he suddenly care about her routine?

After thinking about it for a while, Qiu Zi understood.

Song Yu told her not to go out for a night walk, something big must have happened in Kyoto in the past two days!

Because she has a habit, she will go out for a walk at night, but in the past few days, because of the Baihualou incident, she still hides at home and reads, and she hasn't gone anywhere.

Song Yu was worried that she would go out and run around......

However, people are always curious, and the more he refuses to let her go, the more she wants to know what is going on.

The mountains in the distance are hidden in the twilight, a few stars appear sparsely in the sky, the ancient trees in the courtyard make a rattling sound, occasionally a few fallen leaves fall with the wind, the lonely yellow leaves, like colorful butterflies flying, and like a lonely boat in the sea.

When the lights went on and off, the curtain of night was quickly opened.

Qiu Ci changed into a night suit, quietly avoided the people Song Yu had placed outside the Hou Mansion, and escaped like a cat.

Song Yu knows her too well, and she knows Song Yu too well.

Since he sent a note asking her not to run around, he would definitely arrange for someone to keep an eye on her.

But if she wants to escape, there must be a way to avoid Song Yu's manpower.

Night has fallen, the whole of Kyoto is plunged into darkness, the bright yellow palace lanterns swaying in the wind on the street, the long street is empty on both sides, and the dim leaves flicker under the palace lanterns, adding a bit of weirdness to this lonely night.

Qiu Ci lay on a big tree and waited for a long time, and when he was approaching, a figure stepped on the eaves and went straight to the direction of Dongzhimen.

Qiu Ci's breath stagnated, and she waited for the man to go farther away, and after pulling a little distance, she quietly followed behind the man.

………………

A ruined temple on the outskirts of the city, the temple door is in tatters, it seems to be broken by the wind, and a Buddha statue placed in it is also crawling with cobwebs, it seems that no one has cleaned it for a long time, the ground is covered with dust, and a strong pedantic smell fills the whole temple.

As the minutes ticked by, the moon had risen in mid-sky, illuminating the dilapidated temple.

There were no lights, the temple was pitch black, and under this darkness, everything around was so quiet that you could hear the occasional insect chirping outside.

Suddenly, the door of the temple moved slightly, as if a gust of wind had poured in.
