When Madame Mu took the first step in her attempt to influence the Inner Palace. Yao'er, who had just gained a foothold in Kou Qing Palace, was looking for it.

East of Lin'an City, Sanli'an.

The incense in the nunnery is not prosperous, today suddenly a group of people broke into the Sanli Nunnery, not long after, the old nun in the nunnery came forward to persuade the few pilgrims to leave, and then closed the mountain gate, and hung a sign in front of the door: "Put incense!" ”

There are three ways to say that temples are closed. The first is called "stop the order", which means to stop receiving the wandering monks from all over the world to come to the temple to "place orders", and the second is called "closing the mountain", which means to stop receiving all outsiders, including tourists, pilgrims, and monks from all over the world. The third is "incense".

On the day of incense, the monks self-study and arrange their own activities and work and rest of the day, a bit of a secular person on vacation, but this Sanli'an halfway "incense", I don't know why.

In the nunnery, there are some burly and strong men standing in the access control place where you can enter and exit, they are wearing ordinary clothes, but the bulging waists seem to have hidden weapons, looking at their expressions, especially the posture of standing, but anyone who has a little insight can guess that they should be in the public gate.

Yesterday, the Marquis of Changle was assassinated, and the whole city was wanted for investigation, Yao'er volunteered to be responsible for the investigation of the temples and Taoist temples in the city, and was also secretly looking for Shen Rendrunk.

In the hall, two rows of nuns and two rows of monks stood together, and the presiding officer stood beside them with a plate of rosary beads in his hand.

A handsome young man wearing a scarf and a soapy blue robe walked past the nuns and monks in turn with his hands behind his back, and she watched very carefully. Almost any of them, whether old or young, obese or thin, should be carefully examined for a long time.

This handsome young man is Yao'er who is dressed as a man.

Whenever I see those little nuns and monks with slender figures and delicate postures. Even more stopped, up and down, left and right, looking non-stop, sometimes going around a circle, causing some little nuns to blush, uncomfortable, so they had to lower their eyebrows, and the Buddhist scriptures kept murmuring. to set a Zen heart.

Who called Yao'er, who was dressed as a man, was also a handsome little Langjun.

It's not easy to find Shen Ren drunk!

Among the people known to Yao'er, Shen Renzui was the one who was best at disguise. He can pretend to be a woman's voice vividly, and he can also transform into a charming girl, and make up as an ascetic with a wrinkled face, this person has such great powers. Can Yao'er An not be careful?

Haruka earnestly saw the last person. None of them could be drunk.

Shen Renzui's makeup skills are superb, but Yao'er believes that under her careful inspection, Shen Renzui will not be able to deceive her eyes.

At this time, Tang Zong hurriedly walked out of the back hall, with a few plainclothes men with knives in his hands behind him, and when he saw Yao'er, Tang Zong shook his head.

Yao'er said: "In all temples and Taoist temples, there are often some secret doors. For the prevention of military disasters and the collection of scriptures, you ......"

Tang Zong nodded and said, "Changshi rest assured." Tang naturally checked these places. As long as there is a place like this nunnery, it can't hide from my eyes. ”

Tang Zong has been in charge of the Lin'an Mansion Law Department for many years, and he has a lot of experience in handling cases, if there is really something hidden that he can't discover, it must be even more difficult to find out if he changes to Yao'er. In Tang Zong's opinion, the assassin's murder was real, so he was more eager to catch the murderer than Yao'er, and he would not fool around.

Therefore, Yao'er said: "There is no problem with this nunnery, let's leave!" ”

"Good!"

Tang Zong agreed, and said to the host: "Disturb the host and the masters in the nunnery, I am working on a big case, and I also ask the host to keep this matter secret, so as not to alarm the thief hiding in the temple." ”

The head of Sanli'an said: "Amitabha, poor nuns should obey their fate. ”

Yao'er is an official of Kouqing Palace, and the normal investigation and handling of criminal and civil cases in Lin'an are all under Lin'an Mansion, unless the king has a special purpose, Yao'er has no right to directly intervene in this kind of case, and naturally it is impossible to go all over the temples and Taoist temples in Lin'an.

What's more, most of these temples and Taoist temples have secular protectors, and they are all families who are either rich or noble, if Yao'er does not have a sufficient reason, she will go in and out of the places where the monks practice, and this matter will cause public anger, even the king will not protect her, so she Yao takes advantage of this golden opportunity to find a damn intoxicating person.

As for Kou Qinggong's side, she just needs to go and order a mao every day, so she doesn't have to worry too much. Her ambition has never been in Kou Qing Palace, Cui Liangyu is also a very smart person, once she found out this, she immediately changed from Yao'er's strongest competitor to her supporter, and Kou Qing Palace has Cui Liangyu, a veteran with a strong foundation, who helps her do things without regrets. She was only responsible for resisting the pressure from Xia Ru on Kou Qing's palace secretary, and let Cui Liangyu let it go, and the two worked together very happily.

Soon, Yao'er, Tang Zong and others came to Shangzhenguan again.

Shangzhen Temple is more secluded than Sanli'an, and the walls are full of bamboo. The winding path is deep, like a fairy realm. As soon as you enter the view, you can hear the sound of the secluded cave flute from afar. There is not even a single pilgrim in this view, although the incense is not prosperous, but the view is magnificent. Even the delicate little Taoist aunt who answered the door, seeing that her snow-white ** lining was made of Qiluo silk.

The master is not very old, only twenty-four years old, and his name is flattering. This viewer has apricot eyes and peach cheeks, a neck stretch, shoulders are shaved, the waist is like a prime, and there is a romantic taste that refreshes people's hearts. I can't hide that enchanting energy, I really don't look like a monk.

As soon as Yao'er looked at the situation in this view, he felt that it was not a good way, and then he looked at this view, and he knew that it was not a good place. Shen Ren was drunk and sad and wanted to become a monk, it was impossible to pin her place in this kind of place, she was going to turn around and leave, but the more this kind of place, the easier it was to hide dirt and dirt, and she was using the guise of catching a female assassin, and leaving was bound to arouse Tang Zong's suspicions.

Therefore, she still asked Tang Zong to lead people to search in the temple, but she only took a cursory look at the female Taoist priests in the view, and then went to the small pavilion in the garden to rest. Seeing that this young and handsome man had lost his history, he told his disciples to retreat, and then his eyes fluttered. The delicate body is swinging, and she is courteous around Yao'er.

Yao'er dealt with it casually at first, but this female Taoist was very long. The teasing became more and more excessive, Yao'er was a little unbearable, so she frowned and said: "I'm really sorry to disturb your Qingxiu today, the master doesn't need to accompany me, we will leave after Tang Shaofu checks it." ”

Mei Zhenzi's delicate little mouth was hidden, and she smiled and said: "Changshi is so polite, what kind of disturbance is this." If it weren't for Langzhong, you would come. Poor Dao didn't know that Kou Qing Palace had such a young and handsome official, poor Dao is a monk, and he is a big word, which is ...... It's also the fate between you and me. ”

She is also a woman. This charming son is really unbearable. Yao'er fled in a panic.

This area is the southeast corner of Lin'an, it is sparsely populated, relatively secluded, this bridge is naturally not too big, the bridge is not made of stone, but a wooden bridge that is old. The water under the bridge is murmuring, like a jade belt, and the bridge leads mules to carry burdens, three or five soldiers. The forest trees near and far are dyed, which is poetic and picturesque.

When Yao'er and the others came out of the Upper True Temple. It's already sunset, and it's almost dusk.

Yao'er's home is relatively close to here, and he didn't enter the house at all, so he stopped and said to Tang Zong: "Tang Shaofu, you lead people back, let's continue tomorrow morning!" ”

"Good! In this way, Tang took the first step, long history, farewell! ”

Tang Zong was very polite to Yao'er.

This criminal case is a matter of Lin'an Mansion, and since Yao'er took the initiative to take the lead, Tang Zong has not been under any pressure from Baimaguan or Changle Hou Mansion. The court solves major cases within a time limit, and the officials in charge who fail to solve the case when they expire will be punished, and because of Yao'er, he has no pressure in this regard, so Tang Zong is very grateful to Yao'er. He didn't know that this matter was basically helping Yao'er find a lover.

After Tang Zong and the others left, Yao'er went to the bridge alone, and the autumn sun shone on his body, with a quiet warmth. Yao'er had just stepped on the bridge, and suddenly a person came to him, just in front of him, this person was wearing a bamboo hat, and only the pointed chin could be seen.

Yao'er was vigilant, but listened to him: "Long history stops, my master is invited!" ”

"There are people waiting for them here, and it seems that their whereabouts have long been in the eyes of the other party." Yao'er pondered in her heart and asked, "Who is the master of your family?" ”

The man held the bamboo hat in one hand, looked up and smiled at him, and when Yao'er saw it, the muscles of his legs that collapsed like a bowstring suddenly relaxed, and it turned out that this person was actually the coachman and concubine beside Mrs. Mu.

Concubine De smiled at Yao'er again, turned around and walked towards the side of the bridge, Yao'er didn't say a word, and followed behind him.

In the forest, the sky was blue but only a corner was exposed, and a white cloud gently floated over the treetops. The fallen leaves are piled up all over the ground in a golden color, and different types of trees are scattered to reflect the layering of red, yellow, and green.

A man stood quietly in the forest, wearing a pale cyan round-necked narrow-sleeved robe, a jade belt loosely tied around his waist, and a soapy folded scarf on his head, with one hand behind his back and the other on his chest, looking into the depths of the woods, as if quietly thinking about something.

This person is dressed as a man, but the waist is slightly twisted, the body is graceful, and the whole body shows a perfect S-shaped curve, even if it is a man's dress, it can't hide the ten thousand styles that emanate from her bones, this is clearly a young woman in men's clothes.

When Yao'er saw her figure, her pace paused first, and then she quickened her pace, and the concubine who was walking in front of him had already unconsciously turned into walking behind him, and then quietly retreated outward, and at the same time waved her hand, and several figures faintly moving in the forest around quietly dispersed.

"Your Highness!"

Mrs. Mu turned around slowly, bent her two thin eyebrows, and her facial features were still soft......

She leaned over slightly, and her eyebrows frowned slightly, before she said, "You ...... these days?" What do you want to do when you go to various temples and Taoist temples? ”

Yao'er raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Your Highness is very curious about this matter?" ”

"I'm not interested in catching thieves! What I want to know is...... You are the chief of Kou Qing Palace, why did you suddenly condescend to your dignity and set up a mission to investigate the case and arrest the murderer? ”

Yao'er frowned and said, "What does this have to do with His Highness?" ”

"Of course it does!"

Mrs. Mu asked, "Mother trusts you very much now, do you know?" ”

"So what?"

"So what, you say?"

Mrs. Mu became excited: "Do you know how powerful the minister was at the beginning? Do you know why Tian Chengqian went to great lengths to seize military power in the first place? Because of his power and status, coupled with Jun Xiachen's role as a tiger, he has no threat in the court, and what he lacks is only military power!

You have such a good opportunity now, it is entirely possible to grasp the power that Jun Xia Chen only had when he was at his most beautiful, but you actually ......, I don't care what the reason is, you dignified Kou Qing Palace Chief Shi will go to investigate the case and arrest the murderer! Since the conclusion of the case of the Three Law Divisions, you have become famous, and this is the time when you are one step closer to seizing power, how can you ......"

Yao'er said: "I understand what you mean!" ”

She paced a few steps slowly, sat down on the grass full of golden fallen leaves, leaned on her back, clasped her knees with both hands, pondered for a moment, and said to Mrs. Mu: "My thoughts are a little different from yours, although our purpose is the same, I can't be the second Junxiachen, and I don't want to be the second Junxiachen." ”

Mrs. Mu came over and said, "I didn't ask you to be the second minister, let alone want you to frame an innocent minister, if there is anyone who needs you to eradicate it, do you think he must be clean?" ”

Yao'er snorted: "With this method, you can master enough power?" ”

Mrs. Mu said, "At least, this is the best way to preserve the power loyal to the Jiang family!" ”

Yao'er sat down cross-legged and said, "Bao Jiang, many people's methods are different. King Langya used force; Guan Gong wants to preserve the forces loyal to the Jiang family, let them sting, and wait until our queen and king are a hundred years old before making plans......"

Mrs. Mu coldly interrupted him and said, "But the premise of all this is only feasible under the condition of ensuring that the heir of the prince is the Jiang family. ”

Yao'er said: "So what? I've heard. The king now has a new favorite, regarded as a pearl in the palm of his hand? ”

Mrs. Mu's heart jumped and said, "You already know? (To be continued......)
