The wind lamps are swaying, the cold wind is whistling and is about to approach Chang'an City, the city guards are still patrolling every street in the city in an orderly and vigilant manner, and the carriages and sedan chairs are becoming fewer and fewer and more sparse, but the sound of horses' hooves and the footsteps of the sedan chair driver are becoming more and more urgent.

This night's Chang'an City is destined to be peaceful, the leader of the city Wuwei listened to the voice of the husband, the time has come, and it will be a few hours, and it will be time to go to court again.

These officials, who are still sitting in the carriage running back and forth, seem destined to be unable to sleep tonight, and I wonder if they will doze off when they go to court tomorrow? tightened his collar so that the cold wind could be a little farther away from his neck, and continued to lead the city guards to patrol Chang'an City at night.

Lin Shiling frowned, and Jinghui had already memorized the secret letter from His Royal Highness the Prince, but they still couldn't guess what His Royal Highness the Prince's move meant!

The strong tea was changed to pot after pot, and the bloodshot in his eyes became more and more, Jing Hui, who washed his face with cold water, walked in from the outside refreshed, with hot air in his mouth, rubbed his hands and trembled: "It's so cold, this ghost weather can't live, I really don't know if the weather is worse than this when I get to Tubo!" ”

"It's bad, for sure, as long as you don't freeze your bones when the time comes. But before that, if we can't pass the last examination of His Royal Highness the Prince, I'm afraid we won't be able to go to Tubo to enjoy the even worse plateau cold. Lin Shiling put a cold wet towel on her forehead, trying to keep her mind clear.

Jinghui sat down and glanced at Lin Shiling, who was waiting with his head up, he didn't need to read the secret letter, he had already memorized it, except for not knowing the accident of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince giving the two of them this secret letter, everything else had been resolved.

Even where the penny went, he and Lin Shiling figured it out in less than half an hour, but it was just a different angle and a different direction.

As long as you don't think about the problem from the perspective of the three guests, but start from the shopkeeper's place, then all the problems will be solved.

"Then what do you mean by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's letter to the two of us? You can't just play this upside-down game, right? Jinghui held his chin, the dim and flickering lights, and the warm room like spring made him unable to fall asleep.

"If I had figured it out, I wouldn't have been sitting with you all the time, can I go to Tibet, now on this secret letter, you and I will be on this simple secret letter." Lin Shiling's tone was full of helplessness, and he wanted to break his head, and he didn't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince meant.

Take off the cold wipes on your forehead and keep them on, I'm afraid that if the towels are cold, your head will freeze.

"You don't need to look at it, it's just ordinary paper, ordinary words, ordinary pens, no hidden head palindrome, etc., it's just a sharp turn." Lin Shiling was bored to see Jinghui holding the secret letter, shining at the light for a while, and heating the secret letter on the fire for a while, but tossing and turning, the paper was still lifeless and unresponsive.

"Could it be a hint of something?" Jing Hui put down the secret letter weakly, feeling a little reliable.

"You go on to say that it will be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who hints at us...... ......? By the way, what did you just say? Lin Shiling was suddenly startled, and hurriedly grabbed Jinghui's hand and asked.

"I ...... Did I say something to us? What happened to you? Shocked. ”

"Hint, hint, hint? How to imply? Use this question? With the people inside? With the numbers in it? Or use ......? ”

"Are the shopkeepers, the guests, the guys, the embezzlement, the numbers, all useful?" Jinghui seemed to feel that he had grasped something, and hurriedly spread out the letter again.

And Lin Shiling tacitly quickly prepared a blank paper and pen, the two looked at each other again, so they tacitly exchanged things in their hands, and when it came to speculation, even ten Jinghui were not Lin Shiling's opponents, so this secret letter had to be handed over to Lin Shiling, and Jinghui was responsible for taking notes.

After Lin Shiling looked at it carefully, the expression on his face was pale for a while, his lips trembled and he didn't speak for a long time, until Jing Hui urged him, he put down the secret letter in his hand with trembling hands, looked at Jing Hui and said, "We are so stupid, we almost missed the big thing of His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

"Why?" Jinghui began to be confused again, and he missed something.

"What are you and me doing now?"

"Isn't that a decipher of this secret letter?"

"No, what are we doing these days? His Royal Highness intended to let Master Pei Xingjian serve as the right servant, but Fang Xianzhong, who originally thought that he had the highest voice, became struggling because of the Ministry of Works, and it would be good for the court to be able to save his life tomorrow, but who else coveted the position of the right servant, and it was also the person whom His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to eradicate! ”

"Pei Yan!" Jing Hui was startled, the brush in his hand shook, and a drop of ink fell on the snow-white and precious rice paper.

These things are all open secrets, at least they are the prince's subordinates, and they all know what the prince suddenly transferred back to Pei Xingjian and placed them in Tubo.

Moreover, in order to keep King Pei, in order to prevent King Pei from secretly colluding with Pei Yan, the prince has already begun to quietly plan to eradicate Pei Yan from transferring Luo Binwang, Yang Jiong and others from Anxi and placing them in Jiangnan to standby.

If it weren't for Pei Yan, Li Yifu, Xu Jingzong and others who took the lead in admonishing His Majesty to abolish the former crown prince Li Zhong, if it weren't for Pei Yan who had always been the head of the queen, I think the prince would have been eliminated a long time ago, right?

What's more, when His Majesty and the crown prince Liaodong were trapped in Liujing City during this trip, Pei Yan did not immediately go to the palace to protect the queen, but instead cowered and pretended to be sick, forcing the queen to transfer the 1,000 floating slaughter camp left by the prince to the harem, in case King Pei would suddenly rebel!

"Yes, it's Pei Yan!" Lin Shiling's eyes flashed with a cold light, staring at the candlelight on the table like a poisonous snake.

"But what can we do? Pei Yan and the British public plot to rebel, this matter could not be realized, and the collusion with King Pei, because to protect King Pei, it is impossible for His Royal Highness to involve King Pei, there is no handle. Jinghui's hand holding the brush trembled anxiously, and a precious piece of rice paper turned into waste paper.

"What we can do ......." Lin Shiling smiled mysteriously, pointed at the secret letter with his finger, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness's meaning is very clear, that is, to hide from the sky and the sea, just like this original penny, let's just turn him away." ”

"Gone?" Jing Hui frowned, if this money is done in the way of accounting, it can indeed be done for him, but how to put it on Pei Yan...... "Shopkeeper? ”

"Yes, the shopkeeper is the account book, and a penny is Pei Yan's embezzlement, but Pei Yan is not corrupt, so he has to become corrupt." Lin Shiling was sure in his heart, he was sure that this was definitely the intention of His Royal Highness the Prince, but as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, he couldn't say anything, let alone leave any evidence to frame the minister, so he used this trick to hint at them.

"But since Pei Yan joined the office, he has never been interested in money, he is an honest official and has a clean style, except for his excessive ......greed for power."

"So I want to put the penny that hasn't been lost on Pei Yan as if it's been lost." Lin Shiling got up and walked out, in the account books of the Royal Bank and the Ministry of Households, there are a large number of Pei Yan's information over the years, as long as you understand these, do some accounts, and then according to His Royal Highness's wishes, hand them over to an imperial historian to take to the court.

As for who this imperial history is, it has nothing to do with His Royal Highness the Prince, that is his matter with Jinghui, you can't let His Highness arrange everything, in that case, what else do you want them to do!

Jinghui looked at Lin Shiling, who ran out like a gust of wind, and thought about it and felt that it was no problem, but if you want to frame Pei Yan successfully, tomorrow in the court, there must be a convincing person to testify against Pei Yan.

"Brother Lin, wait a minute, do you need to remind Your Highness that tomorrow above the court, someone needs to point out Pei Yan, so that the plan can work......

"Don't worry, since Your Highness has asked you and me to do the accounting, it is obvious that you have already arranged the person to testify against Pei Yan in the court, of course, don't be curious about who it is, I can't guess who Your Highness will let testify." Lin Shiling flipped through all the accounts about Pei Yan and said without looking back.

Seeing that it was about to pass, on the streets shrouded in the night of Chang'an City, there were still occasional horses' hooves sounding one after another, or the sedan chair driver who had slowed down carried the sedan chair and bowed his head.

Yang Sijian and the sullen Yang Yu said goodbye to Bai Chun at the gate of King Pu's Mansion, Yang Yu reluctantly returned the salute to Bai Chun, and then got into the carriage under Yang Sijian's disappointed face when he looked at Bai Chun.

"Miss Bai, there is a lot of trouble in today's affairs, but I still hope that Miss Bai will not tell His Royal Highness the Prince, such a humble act is really worthy of the identity of the prince and young master of the lower official, but it is related to the future of the little girl, and the lower official has no choice but to make this decision, and I hope that Miss Bai will forgive her sins." The big red lantern at the gate of King Pu's mansion was hung high, Yang Sijian looked around at no one, and said to Bai Chun in a low voice.

"Young Master Yang has filtered, Bai Chun has been staying in the mansion today, he has not seen anyone, and no one has ever been to the mansion, please rest assured that Young Master Yang is here." A rare smile appeared on Bai Chun's face, and he said to Yang Sijian.

It's just that there is still a word in my heart that I haven't said, if I don't say it, it doesn't mean that no one will see it, Pu Wangfu seems to be clean and peaceful, who knows if there are dozens of pairs of hundreds of eyes staring around.

Yang Sijian looked at Bai Chun's expression, obviously reminding him that if he didn't say it, it didn't mean that others wouldn't know.

After thinking for a while, he arched his hand again and said: "Xia Guan is not afraid that others will know, but he is afraid of disturbing Miss Bai too much, after all, Miss Bai has served in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince all the year round, and one sentence is more than a hundred and thousands of words from others." ”

"Young Master Yang, please go back, your advice Bai Chun has written it down." Bai Chun nodded lightly and watched Yang Sijian get into the carriage.

But until the carriage left, even if he had turned the corner of the alley and drove to another street, Bai Chun was still standing at the door, letting the cold wind blow his long hair and making teeth and claws behind his back.

"How did you know I was coming?" Li Hong suddenly flashed out of the dark shadows and saved Bai Chun, who was looking around.
