Chapter 3: Back (3)
The prince was silent for a while, and then asked coldly: "It turns out that you are the bad guy Li Tianran who was arrested in the whole Chang'an City today?" Sure enough, he had the courage to enter the East Palace with such a swagger! ”
Li Tianran was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect his matter to reach the prince's ears so quickly, but if you think about it carefully, how can His Royal Highness the Prince attach so much importance to a crime committed by a bad person, it should be that the prince has secretly found out about it before being summoned, and the speed of time is staggering! Thinking of this, Li Tianran couldn't help but gasp, and sighed secretly: "This prince is really acting step by step, thoughtful, and not idle!" ”
Li Tianran immediately bowed down and said: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the fact that the lower official was arrested is wronged, and I hope that he will be fine." ”
After hearing this, the prince immediately waved his hand, snorted coldly, and said slowly: "There is no need to say more. The bad handsome Wang Tianbao can't hide this trick from the palace, since the palace plans to let you investigate the case, it will never account for this matter, as the so-called employment is not suspicious, and the suspect does not need it! ”
After hearing this, Li Tianran's heart immediately became hot, and he hurriedly bowed down again and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise!" ”
The crown prince continued: "Time is limited, this palace will ask you, where are you going to start investigating the murder of your father? ”
Li Tianran pondered for a moment, and immediately replied: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the corpse can speak, and I plan to start with the investigation of the victim's body; In addition, I plan to go to the prison to meet with my father and learn some details about the case. ”
Li Tianran finished speaking, but the prince who was seated did not respond, and after waiting for a long time and did not answer, Li Tianran's heart tightened, could it be that he said something wrong, hesitated for a moment, and immediately said: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince... ”
"There's something you haven't known yet!" Without waiting for the prince to answer, Li Mi on the side answered.
Hearing this, Li Tianran hurriedly turned to Li Mi and said in a low voice, "What's the matter?" I hope that the adults will teach you. ”
Li Mi and the prince glanced at each other, the prince nodded in acquiescence, and Li Mi immediately spoke: "I just learned this morning that the prison of Dali Temple was robbed last night, dozens of jailers were killed, and Ling Zun also... We don't know where to go! ”
Li Yu's words made Li Tianran's heart instantly rise to his throat, especially the last pause, it was really not the right time, and when he heard that it was "I don't know where to go", his heart relaxed a little, but then he was still shocked, and his voice couldn't help but tremble a little: "Heavenly prison... was robbed, and my father didn't know it... Whereabouts? Who can do this? ”
"Who the hell is it, I'm afraid you have to find out!" The prince answered, then took out a gold order from his waist, and continued: "This token is a token of the East Palace, if you see this order, this palace is now given to you, I hope you will do your best to find out about this case, and find out as soon as possible, so as to live up to expectations!" ”
Li Tianran hurriedly took a few steps forward, respectfully took the golden order with both hands, and responded loudly: "His Royal Highness Prince Xie, the lower officials will definitely do their best to live up to their mission!" Clear up the grievances of my father as soon as possible and find out the real culprit behind the scenes! ”
The crown prince nodded lightly and continued: "There are still a few things that this palace must also explain, so as not to break the rules. First, this case is in accordance with the will of the sage, and it is investigated and handled jointly by the East Palace and the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, so you must be cautious in doing things, and you must not fall into the trap of others; Second, the saint has an order, and the case must be investigated within four days, otherwise don't talk about you, even this East Palace will be dealt with by national law; And this... The third is that today's national teacher is deeply admired by the saints, and he should not be an enemy at any time, so as not to harm the East Palace. These three points ... Can you hear me? ”
Li Tianran immediately bowed his hand and replied: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the lower officials have all remembered it!" ”
The prince nodded with satisfaction, and pointed to Li Mi again and said, "This is Lord Li Mi, if you need help with anything, you can ask him!" ”
Li Tianran thought to himself in his heart: "It turns out that he is really Li Yu!" So he hurriedly saluted Li Bi respectfully, and Li Bi also returned the salute; The prince urged: "Li Tianran, you should set off to investigate the case as soon as possible, remember!" Time is pressing, and this palace is waiting for your news! ”
"Whoa!" Li Tianran bowed, didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly withdrew from the East Palace.
Seeing Li Tianran walking away, the prince couldn't help but whisper to Li Mi and asked, "In your opinion, he... Can you trust it? ”
Li Mi nodded, and replied affirmatively: "In the opinion of the minister, it is credible!" ”
As soon as he left the East Palace, Li Tianran rushed towards Du Fu's thatched cottage non-stop. He didn't have time to think about it in the hall just now, but now that he thinks about it, he can't help but be moved and frightened! The prison of Dali Temple was robbed, and Ah Lang disappeared together? What's going on? Someone can actually break into the heavily guarded prison, and they can also take Ah Lang away with him! If Ah Lang had the intention to escape, he might not have been taken away by Colliers in the first place, and he might have escaped at that time! But if Ah Lang didn't want to leave by himself, would it be difficult for someone to tie Ah Lang up together? The more he thought about it, the more strange he felt, so he unconsciously quickened his pace!
Seeing that he was about to reach the gate of Shengye Fang, two strong men suddenly walked out of the alley on one side, blocked Li Tianran's body, and blocked his way. Judging from the costumes, there is nothing strange about the two, but they are unusually tall and burly, which is a little strange compared to ordinary people! Li Tianran glanced at the two of them with a sideways face, he didn't want to deal with it, so he hurriedly turned to one side and prepared to pass past the two of them, but the two of them turned on one side at the same time, blocking Li Tianran's way.
Li Tianran glanced up at the two of them, they had indeed never seen them before, so he said, "I don't know what is the matter with the two of you standing here?" ”
The eyes of the two were fixed on Li Tianran, and one of them spoke: "My master wants to see you, please come with us!" ”
"Your master?" Li Tianran muttered in a low voice, he glanced at the two of them again, and said: "I haven't known your master, there are still urgent matters below, it's really inconvenient, and I hope you two will let you go!" ”
When the visitor heard this, he immediately stretched out his hand behind him, then took out an object, and continued: "My master said that you will meet when you see this thing!" ”
Li Tianran was even more strange when he heard it, so his eyes returned to the object in his hand, and he couldn't help but be shocked when he saw it clearly, what he was holding in his hand was a rag on a beggar's body, could it be that his master was... Li Tianran hesitated for a while, and immediately spoke: "Annoying the two to lead the way!" ”
The two of them immediately turned around and entered the alleyway, and began to lead the way in front, Li Tianran followed closely behind, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, why did she want to add me again, didn't she still think I was enough? Still is... Another plan? But I am just a bad person, what can I do?
Just thinking about it, Li Tianran had followed the two of them to the door of a secluded restaurant, looking from the door, it seemed that the business in the restaurant was not very good, there was no voice, one of them said to Li Tianran: "It's here, my master is inside, you can go in by yourself." ”
Li Tianran looked around, this place is very secluded, inaccessible, if it weren't for the word "wine" hanging in front of the door, he would never find that this is actually a restaurant, to say that this store actually chose such a place to operate, it is also a little strange. Li Tianran didn't think much about it, so he pushed the door and went in, after all, it was a blessing or a curse, and it couldn't be avoided if it was a disaster, and it would come sooner or later.
The room was as Li Tianran expected, empty, not even a running Xiao Er, the whole hall was empty, only a big screen was placed in front of the door, and for a while I couldn't see what was behind this screen.
Li Tianran was hesitating, when suddenly a woman's voice came from behind the screen: "Lanling wine tulips, jade bowl with amber light." But that the master may be drunk, and he will not know where it is. Good poetry! Good poetry indeed! Master Li, you're here, aren't you going to come over and have a drink with me? ”
Li Tianran was stunned when she heard this, the poem that the woman chanted was the poem of her father, she... Who is it? I actually know myself. Li Tianran didn't answer, but slowly walked behind the screen with strong curiosity...
Although he was fully mentally prepared, as soon as he walked through the screen, he was still surprised by the scene in front of him, behind the screen there was a table and two chairs, the two chairs were placed opposite each other, there was no food on the table, just a pot of wine and two wine glasses, and what really surprised Li Tianran was the woman sitting at the wine table. I saw the woman, the wind bun showed her sideburns, the eyebrows and eyes were lightly swept with spring, the skin was as delicate as warm jade, the cherry mouth was red without a point, delicate and beautiful, and the two strands of hair on the cheeks gently brushed with the wind to add a bit of seductive style, and the flexible eyes turned wisely, a little naughty, a little naughty, a light cyan long skirt, the waist was not full of a hand, so beautiful that it was so flawless, so beautiful that it did not eat the fireworks of the world.
Li Tianran has never seen such a beautiful woman so far in his life, and he lost his reaction for a while, but his eyes stayed quietly on the woman and did not leave for a moment.
Seeing Li Tianran's appearance like this, the woman couldn't help but smile lightly, this smile was even more like a fairy, which was intoxicating, and she finally said softly: "What are you looking at?" Not ready to come and sit down? ”
When she said this, Li Tianran suddenly relieved himself, he also felt that he was really out of shape, his face immediately became hot, and he quickly removed his gaze from the woman, and hurriedly sat on the chair opposite the woman, until this moment, Li Tianran's heart was still beating violently!
When the woman saw Li Tianran sitting down, she raised the wine jug on the table, filled the two glasses on the table with wine, and said: "This is a twenty-year-old wine, which is rare. ”
Li Tianran didn't dare to look up at the woman again, but just bowed his head and said: "The girl's kindness Li has received it, but there is an urgent matter, and it is really inconvenient to drink. Farewell! As soon as he said that, he got up and left.
The woman hurriedly spoke: "Master Li, why are you leaving, do you not know who I am?" ”
When she asked her like this, Li Tianran had no choice but to look up at her again, but after thinking for a while, he still didn't have any impression.
Seeing this, the woman immediately smiled and said, "My name is called... Xiaoluo! ”
